Fm104 & Giftsdirect.com Helicopter Ride Experience, Niamh & Jim Face Their Fears!

June 19th 2010

Giftsdirect.com set Niamh & Jim from Strawberry Alarm clock a challenge to go on our Helicopter Ride this week.

Niamh faced her fears to go in the two seater helicopter at Western airport. Niamh was very nervous but Jim & Lee the helicopter pilot tried to put her mind at ease (or wound her up!). But once they got off the ground they were able to see spectacular views from the cock pit.

Jim went first and said "It was amazing and the views were incredible"
"Fabulous views, you could just everywhere see from Dun Laoghaire harbour all the way over…it’s an incredible machine and the stuff that they can do."
"Niamh is either going to love it …or be screaming to get out, but I tell you it’s something she won’t forget it, it’s absolutely brilliant"

A much more nervous Niamh went second, but she did it! When she got out she had a big hug from Jim,

"I did it, just about… when we were going up I said I can’t do it, he said you got to do it now!"

Give someone special a flying experience they’ll never forget, choose from our range of Helicopter and Airplane flying lessons, and rides: Flying Experience Gifts

Article From: In Dublin

29-Jun-2007

PR Article from our Archives Publication: In Dublin 2nd December 1999 BEWLEY'S seem to be making another push to bring in the Grafton Street hordes. Last month saw the flagship store go Oriental, in the spirit of it's original design, with much of the lower entrance foyer devoted to selling a range of minimalistically presented Asian delicacies. There's strawberry jam,  pickled onions,  lime marmalade and apple chutney in black-and-white labeled jars as well as the more Orientally flavoured ginger chutney with sea salt and wok oil in oddly shaped bottles. Bewley'shave also expanded itsgiftware line, with mobiles and windchimes taking up shelf space next to the usual array of coffee and teapots. Christmas is another marketing opportunity not to be missed, with the Bewley's range of truffles, Irish coffee, fudge and Guinness toffees on show. There's also a large range of hampers made up for Christmas, ranging from The Victorian, with a bottle of Hardy's Banrock Station Chenin Blanc Semilion Chardonnay, traditional Irish tea cake, Christmas morning marmalade by  Lios  na  Grai  and peppermint creams presented in a wicker basket for £26.50 plus VAT, right up to the mother of all hampers, the £409 Imperial, which could keep you happy for the whole winter let alone Christmas Day. Bewley's have also given their Make A Night of It dinner specials a festive flavour with a special Christmas Night Out package, including a meal and entertainment, available this month for £35 a head. The evening begins with pro-dinner drinks at 7pm, with dinner served in the Harry Clarke Room from 8pm, accompanied by live music. A modern dance show gets underway when dessert is sprved and more food follows the headline act at lOpm when mince pies, tea and coffee is served. Given the night is designed for large groups, the menu is suprisingly extravagent. Starters include winter chestnut and forest mushroom  soup, seasoned game terrine and smoked salmon rosette, with Christmas roulade of turkey and ham as a main or grilled lemon and sole fillet. Desserts such as Christmas pudding, hazlenut and chocolate parfait and warm tart-tatin with cinnamon sauce complete the meal.

Article From lrish Independent 06.03.06

By Pat Boyle

At the Ulster Bank Business Achievers Award presentation were David Pierce, head of marketing and inward investment Ulster Bank, and Lulu O'Sullivan, managing director, 4giftsdirect.com

With its increased availability the internet is finally making an impact on the daily lives of consumers.

The latest winner of the Ulster Bank Invoice Finance/lrish Independent Business Achievers Awards, 4giftsdirect.com, is taking full advantage.

Founding managing director Lulu O'Sullivan set-up what is now Ireland's leading mail order company in 1988 delivering a vast range of over 200 different types of product from gifts and gadgets to kitchen ware to exercise equipment.

Based in Glasnevin, 4giftsdirect.com is an ISO9002 quality assured company, which employs 30 full-time staff and up to 100 in peak season.

They deal with requests from customers who have ordered from one of its many catalogues or via the internet.

Orders can be delivered to the door anywhere around the world. Delivery times vary between 36 a 48 hours within Ireland and Europe, while it promises same day delivery within the Dublin area.

Ms O'Sullivan traces the success back to 1995 when she won the licence to sell Bewley's Hampers, a business which over the following seven years she grew by over l000pc.

She realised the potential of the internet for the mail order business, and had the foresight to establish on of the country’s first online shopping sites.

Today the award winning 4giftsdirect.com site generates 25pc of the company’s annual sales.

 

In 2006 the company will produce some 5m mail order catalogues, putting it at the forefront of the Irish direct selling industry.

Its growth rates are impressive.

"We achieved a 30pc growth in sales last year "The growth was achieved by supplying the finest quality products, value for money, while ensuring our customers get to experience the joys of shopping from the comfort of their home or office."

Ms O’Sullivan said.

She says there is something to celebrate, from births to retirements, personal or corporate or simply to say you are sorry.
