Some 250 celebrate a fine Nimans birthday

Family frolics for staff as chairman marks 60th birthday

Julian Niman, chairman at Nimans, has just marked his 60th birthday with an outdoor party for staff.

All 250 staff -- and their families -- were invited to the celebration, where the traditional cake as centrepiece was complemented with a hog roast, drinks and ice cream.

"Nimans is like one big family to me so what better way to celebrate," said the birthday boy (pictured, above left), whose actual birthdate is in October. "I feel like the Queen, having two birthdays in a year!"

Various games, competitions, and fundraising activities -- and even some summery weather -- ensured it was a day to remember, according to organisers.
