To celebrate the fact that we’re now counting our age on our toes, we had a birthday party last week, complete with special cake and party bags. Work got bumped for birthday lunch, pass the parcel got bumped by a massive game of bingo and post cake sugar highs got whacked out on Delia’s amazing homemade piñata. Rich made a speech, everyone drank champagne and nobody wet themselves during the magic show. Which counts as a very successful birthday party. Take a look the happy snaps right here.

There’s still time to submit your question for this year’s AGM. So if you’ve got burning desire to out why we favour strawberries over lychees or how Adam’s pre wedding fitness regime is coming along, then ask away. You’ll be able to vote on the top ten questions in next week’s news, so if you fancy getting your question into that top ten, then you’ve got to be in it to, er, potentially have your question asked. Get involved right here.

In case you were wondering. He’s now at 3,101,718,442. Check out how the contender for the oldest man in the world spends an afternoon right here.

Please say hello to our new and improved innocent fruit tubes. New because they now come in a 100% recycled box which can then be recycled after use and has ace games inside. Improved because the ladies in the kitchen have been working hard to make both recipes even tastier than before. And improved again because our packaging experts have made the tubes even easier to open. Technically that makes our fruit tubes new, improved and improved again but it’s not quite as catchy. Read more here.

...but still doing a very good job of telling people about our smoothies, Peter Kay, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kid Sister have been recommending our smoothies to the world via their respective tweets and newsletters. (So we’d like to reciprocate and take this opportunity to recommend Top of the Tower, Sliding Doors and Pro Nails as great examples of their finest work).

Our AGM is less than 3 days away and preparations are well under way. The bean bags have arrived, the grass has been hoovered and desks everywhere are being frantically tidied* so that everything is in ship shape, tip top condition for Saturday. Thanks to everyone who voted for the top six questions for the Q&A session (you can have a read of the winners here). We’re going to be posting a full update of the day early next week but if you can’t wait that long, you can get up-to-the-minute updates live from Luke’s head.

We’d love your help to make our super fruit smoothies even more super than they already are. In return for 3 minutes of your time, we’ll enter you into a prize draw to win yourself a box of smoothies. Just for answering 4 questions. Get involved here.

*a.k.a whacking everything into a box and shoving it under your desk.

After lunch, everyone got to visit different stations around the office to learn a bit more about what goes on at innocent. Think Crystal Maze but without the flute playing or promise of Mummsy. Smoothie making took place in the kitchen, sustainability chats with real live primates went down in the Gym Forest, an exhibition of all our creative work was expertly curated by Tansy and Ben, and Lucy E and Heather laid on a mysterious Innovation Treasure hunt in the chillout. Of all the areas though, it was Siobhan, Marta and Dan ‘The Man from Hertford’ who stole the show with their Wheel of Fruitune. It’s as good (if not better) than it sounds. Check it out right here.

This year’s Q&A session was skillfully compered by Dan G who made sure that everyone got their say and that the top 5 questions you submitted and voted for were all read out in an array of amusing accents. No one wore ties (though Rich did don chinos) and Adam admitted to his first official job title. You can see for yourself if this confession made the final edit by watching the Q&A sessions right here. Thanks to everyone who came along on the day, everyone who got involved on line and everyone who ate their fair share of cake. We’re looking forward to next year already.
