Weekend Toy Event Setup Team Dana Whitmore [8:02 A.M.]: Morning, both of you. Doors open at ten for the weekend toy showcase, and two setup jobs are still outstanding. The vendor's demonstration table arrived flat-packed and needs assembling, and the sample bins by the entrance need restocking before customers arrive. Oscar Reinholt [8:04 A.M.]: I'll take the heavier one. Dana Whitmore [8:05 A.M.]: Great, thanks, Oscar. The toolkit is on the shelf behind the register. Dana Whitmore [8:06 A.M.]: Nina, can you cover the sample bins? Everything has to be done by nine thirty—the vendor's representative is stopping in then to inspect the display before we open. Nina Castellano [8:12 A.M.]: Just walked in—the bus ran late. Sure, I've got the bins. Roughly how many are we filling? Dana Whitmore [8:13 A.M.]: Around twenty. The refill crates are stacked by the front counter, ready to go. Nina Castellano [8:14 A.M.]: Twenty's manageable. I'll start now.

To: Angela Ruiz From: Nolan Pierce Subject: Designer recommendation Date: March 12 Dear Angela, You asked last week whether I knew a reliable graphic designer for your product catalog, and I am glad to recommend Curtis Holloway. Curtis spent several years at Brookmere Creative Agency before opening his own practice. When I asked why he had struck out on his own, he explained that what he valued most was sitting down directly with the local business owners he served, rather than routing every decision through account managers. That focus is clear in how he operates today. He works almost entirely with small companies in our region, and he takes on several kinds of projects, including logos, printed brochures, and graphics for websites. If you decide to reach out, Curtis offers a first meeting at no cost, so you can describe your project and view samples of his earlier work before committing to anything. You do not need to book weeks in advance, and the meeting is open to anyone considering his services, not only first-time clients. Once a project begins, he usually delivers the finished files within two weeks. I engaged Curtis myself last quarter for our conference materials, and I was impressed from start to finish. When the completed booklet reached my supervisor, Ms. Loretta Vance, she was delighted with the result and asked who had produced it. That reaction alone should tell you a great deal about the quality of his work. Please feel free to mention my name when you contact him. I am confident you will find him easy to work with, and I would be happy to answer any further questions. Best regards, Nolan Pierce

Vanmoor Packaging Wholesale — Dispatch Notice Dispatch Reference: VP-40712 Carrier: Redwing Freight Account Holder: Thornbury Café Group Account Tier: Priority Contents: 24 cartons — takeaway cups, lids, napkins, and paper bags Order Status: Dispatched in full — 24 of 24 cartons Dispatch Date: 3 March Delivery Window: 5–7 March Handling Terms: Accounts on our top service tier receive weekend delivery and a same-day dispatch confirmation at no extra cost. Accounts on the standard tier are limited to weekday delivery only. Inquiries: For any question about this shipment, contact the dispatch desk at 555-0192 or reply directly to your account manager. ---------------------- From: Desmond Fairlie To: Vanmoor Packaging Wholesale — Dispatch Desk Subject: Regarding dispatch VP-40712 Hello Vanmoor Team, I am writing to confirm that the 24 cartons listed on dispatch VP-40712 reached our main café on 6 March. Everything arrived in good order, the cartons have been unpacked, and the counts matched the notice exactly. Thank you for the smooth handover. With that settled, I would like to sort out a few points for future shipments. First, please send all of our standing orders to our new central storeroom on Kelbrook Lane rather than to the café on Prentice Street. We have decided to hold all packaging stock in one place, and having it delivered directly there will save our staff a good deal of moving around. The storeroom is staffed from eight in the morning, so a delivery at any point during the day will be received without trouble. Second, I wanted to ask about faster turnaround. During our busiest weeks we sometimes run low on cups with very little warning. If a same-week shipment can be arranged when that happens, could you let me know what such a request would involve and whether our account already covers it? One last item to flag: please remove the wooden stirrers from our regular order. We have arranged those through a local supplier now, so there is no need to include them going forward. Everything else on the list should stay exactly as it is. Thank you again for keeping our deliveries running so smoothly. I look forward to hearing how the storeroom change and the faster option can be set up. Best, Desmond Fairlie Operations Manager Thornbury Café Group Direct line: 555-0148

Account Reference: New Enrollment — Maple Court Apartments Attention: Ms. Renata Voss, Scheduling Coordinator From: Gordon Selby, Property Manager Date: 14 April Subject: Setting up a recurring treatment plan Dear Ms. Voss, I manage Maple Court Apartments, a fourteen-unit residential building on Ashbury Lane. The property has never used an outside pest-control provider, but after comparing several companies I have decided that Hollowbrook Pest Solutions is the right choice for us, and I would like to open a regular service account. Please enroll the building in the Steady Defense plan, which appears well suited to a property of our size. We would like the service to begin in May, and I would be grateful if the first visit could be scheduled for that month according to the day your plan already assigns. The treatment should cover the following: ants and other crawling insects, rodents in the basement storage area, and wasp nests along the exterior walls. Several tenants have also mentioned the garden beds at the rear, so please treat those as a lower priority rather than a requirement. Kindly confirm the arrangement and let me know the visit day tied to our plan. You can reach me directly on extension 218 during office hours. Kind regards, Gordon Selby Property Manager, Maple Court Apartments Direct line: extension 218 ---------------------- Hollowbrook Pest Solutions — Residential Treatment Plans All plans are carried out by licensed technicians and apply to buildings of up to twenty units. The rates shown below are effective from 1 March. Plan Frequency Assigned Visit Price per visit Seasonal Shield Every three months First Monday, afternoon $95 Steady Defense Monthly Second Wednesday, morning $70 Full Coverage Every two weeks Thursday, morning $55 Note: Every plan includes a complimentary termite inspection once each year.

Before arranging a visit, I would like to confirm a few requirements. First, my recipes depend on a blast chiller, so the suite must include one. Second, I hope to begin production at the start of April. Third, I am prepared to sign for a full year, so a longer minimum term is not a concern for me. As an aside, our retail shop currently sits on Bantry Street in the Oldgate district, so I already know that part of the city fairly well. I look forward to your recommendation. Sincerely, Miriam Foss Owner, Wildfern Preserves Retail shop: Bantry Street, Oldgate ---------------------- To: Miriam Foss From: Declan Pryce, Leasing Team Date: 12 February Subject: Re: Suite requirements for a preserves business Enclosure: Floor plan of the recommended suite Dear Ms. Foss, Thank you for setting out your needs so clearly. Weighing all three of your conditions together, there is exactly one suite that satisfies every one of them, and I have enclosed its floor plan so you can picture the space. That suite becomes available on the first of April. Separately, I should mention that the Copper Loft will become free at the start of June, so if your production grows later in the year, a second space could be worth keeping in mind. If it would help, I can send you a copy of our standard lease agreement so that you can review the terms before you visit. One more thought: your retail shop happens to sit in one of the very districts we operate a kitchen in, so if staying close to your current premises ever appeals to you, we have a suite in that same part of the city. Please tell me when you would like to tour the site. Best regards, Declan Pryce Leasing Team, Harlow Yard Commercial Kitchens Visits by appointment, Tuesday to Saturday

Calderwood Timepieces Receives Northfield Design Prize Award announced alongside the launch of a new collection HAVENPORT, March 3, 2024 — Calderwood Timepieces reported today that it has received the Northfield Design Prize, an honor given each year by the Institute of Industrial Design to a single watch manufacturer. The judges praised the clean lines and lasting build of the company's Voyage model, noting in particular its clear, easy-to-read dial. Founder Harriet Osei, who has personally overseen every watch design since she opened the company five years ago, said that the prize reflects the effort of the entire workshop rather than any single person. Calderwood introduced its very first model in the year it opened, and that watch still sells steadily today. This month the company adds a new collection led by the Nocturne, its most recent design. Calderwood designs and manufactures all of its wristwatches in-house, and the complete range is carried by retailers across the country. Media inquiries: press@calderwoodtime.com. Contact: Harriet Osei, Founder. About Calderwood Timepieces: Opened five years ago, the company builds durable everyday watches and sells them through independent shops nationwide. ---------------------- Model Year introduced Case size Water resistance Strap Power source Price band Aurora 2022 38 mm 30 m Leather Solar Standard Coastal 2019 40 mm 50 m Leather Standard battery Standard Drifter 2023 43 mm 100 m Fabric Standard battery Standard Nocturne 2024 41 mm 50 m Steel Standard battery Premium Summit 2020 44 mm 100 m Steel Standard battery Premium Voyage 2021 42 mm 200 m Rubber Standard battery Premium Note: All models carry a two-year warranty.

Our technicians have cleaned the movement and fitted a fresh leather strap, and the piece is now ready for you to collect. Because your watch runs on light rather than a battery, there was no battery for us to replace. Please pick it up at the front counter between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M., Monday through Friday. Best regards, Owen Castleton, Service Desk Coordinator Service reference: CW-3308
