20 years! Good grief, where does time go?
Where were you in the Summer of
1993? I was just seventeen, had just passed my driving test, and was tee-total,
which lasted until I was 24! My mum and dad had both been made redundant and
decided that, with the money that they had received, they would set up the
legacy that is Spencers Estate Agents....
A lot happened in 1993. It was
the year that devastating news included the horrendous murders of James Bulger
and Stephen Lawrence, and that saw the deaths of Audrey Hepburn, Pablo Escobar,
and River Phoenix.
Whitney Houston's "I Will Always
Love You" was the hit of the year and Jurassic Park was the movie box
office top title.
It was the year that the Football
Premier League was born, and both Sheffield teams were in it! I may have to
point out for Pop's pride that MUFC were of course champions, and for my own,
that SWFC ended the season in 7th where SUFC finished in 14th. Enough
football already.
Bill Clinton was the oh-so charming
President of the good old US of A, and the oh-no-not-so-charming Prime Minister
was 50 Shades of Grey John Major.
The Maastricht Treaty meant that the
EU was formally established, and the public were allowed into Buckingham Palace
for the first time in history.
And one sunny day in the heart of the
summer, in the centre of the Universe that is Ecclesall Road, a couple of
ambitious spouses opened the doors to Spencers Estate Agents.....
Thank you so much to everyone that
came to our birthday bash. We are very proud to call many of our clients our
friends, and have the most loyal and dedicated staff. Hopefully, looking round
over a glass of wine, mum and dad can feel incredibly blessed seeing the
progress of their original dreams and know that the only way forwards is for us
to hopefully, very proudly, follow in their footsteps.
Thanks so much also to Nonna’s who provided the rather sensational pizzas, to the best DJ in the world, Greg Robinson, and to Fancie for the SuperSpencers cakes.
Hopefully, in another 20 years time, my hologram blog will be projected to you, we will all be selling properties by teleporting clients round their dream properties, and we will all be charging 5% like our European counterparts….
Sign of a good night!! |
