Free theatre tickets for redundant bankers!

Leave a reply

If you’ve recently lost the security of employment under an investment bank and your highly lucrative job has turned you into one of the thousands of well-qualified investment bankers looking for another similar position then don’t panic; Andrew Lloyd Webber’s to the rescue!

As a recently unemployed banker you can claim free tickets to The Sound of Music and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat from now to 15th October. And the Telegraph.co.uk reports the Andrew Lloyd Webber’s words: ‘Both The Sound of Music and Joseph are feel-good shows and I thought that free tickets might offer some respite, albeit for a couple of hours, for some of those people who have sadly lost their jobs in the current economic upheaval’.

Interestingly the offer depends on the theatre-goer bringing along the P45 issued from they’re recently folded bank employers, the very piece of paper that embodies their redundancy and the demise of their secure livelihood. Can you imagine all the recently fired bankers brandishing this piece of paper in public amongst their ex-colleagues in the queue for the theatre… we think not. I’m sure the column inches devoted to this offer (such as this blog!) will serve to publicise the shows even more. As such this promotion should clearly be noted for its value as a stunt marking Webber’s unfailing business savvy rather than a legitimate offer for those it is purporting to be targeting.

So you’ve signed up for a mail forwarding account with us and now you’re curious as to how exactly we handle your mail. Here you go:

  • Your mail arrives at one of our two available addresses, 145-157 St John Street, or 26 York Street (both in London).
  • Our dedicated post team then sort through the mail, separating it depending on size and weight.
  • All the mail is then sorted again and each piece of mail is stamped with the relevant 4-digit account number.
  • The mail is then placed in pigeonholes where it is ordered numerically. This is done to ensure that all your mail is sent out together rather than in multiple batches, saving on your postage costs.
  • Once ordered it is posted using our up-to-date database to your requested forwarding address, anywhere in the world. Once this is done we send you an email letting you know how many letters you are due to receive.

Remember, posting your mail isn’t the only thing we can do with it. If you are in the London area you can come and collect it (as long as notice is given to us) at our 145-157 St John Street address anytime between 9 and 5.30 Monday to Friday. If you choose this option we will email you letting you know that mail is ready to be collected. You can also have your mail scanned to your email address before we either post it on or you collect it. Finally, if you are not expecting a great deal of mail we can send it out to you once a week, also saving on the cost of postage. If in doubt, then browse the site or just email us at [email protected]. Ciao for now.
