Merchandise In Action for a great cause

Great to see our merchandise in action for a good cause. P&O Cruises’ Trek the Deck challenge, where guests donate £10 to enter the challenge, a 5km walk around the ship’s deck, and get their own specially-designed Teenage Cancer Trust and P&O Cruises Trek the Deck t-shirt.

Having initially launched on just two ships in 2018, Trek the Deck has been so popular with passengers that it’s now a year-round feature on the entire fleet!

P&O Cruises, partnered with the Teenage Cancer Trust in 2015 and have so far raised £300,000 in support of young people with cancer.

Staff have taken part in fundraising initiatives both at head office and on-board. The money raised by P&O Cruises staff, crew members and guests, is enough to pay for 10,000 hours of nursing care for teenagers and young adults with cancer. They’re not stopping there – P&O Cruises aims to smash its £500k target by December 2020! 

Having worked in Promotional Merchandise for the last 25 years I have been exposed to all aspects of the industry. Starting out as an account manager working with some of the worlds leading brands, I have learnt to understand the needs of a client, manufacturing processes, and what it takes to deliver a successful promotional campaign that is on brand, on time and within a given budget.
