TWO businesses enjoyed some early Christmas cheer thanks to the Oxford Mail.

Companies were invited by us to apply to win mince pies for their staff.

The team at Premier Lettings in Cowley Road, Oxford, were declared the winners and received a box of the sweet treats courtesy of Sainsbury’s at Heyford Hill, Oxford.

Sainsbury’s PR ambassador Sharon Hulbert delivered the prize package of dozens of pies to Premier Lettings property manager Hannah Brown, who said: “There was a real Christmas atmosphere in the office. This time of year is really busy for us and it was great to have a mini Christmas party here at work.

“We had Christmas music playing and everyone had as many pies as they could eat.”

Oxford Mail promotions manager Jo Coady said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to spread a bit of Christmas cheer in the workplace. We have had lots of companies participating.”

Another winning business will be selected this week – with more mince pies delivered this Friday.
