Football For Change
On Thursday 22nd September, we had the pleasure of hosting a Champions League table at this year’s Football For Change (FFC) event at the Emirates, Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester.
Lee Bucktrout (CEO), Guy Cliffe (Sales Director), Michael Woods (Operations Director) and Marie Pay (Client Services Manager) enjoyed an evening of celebration with our customers, Specsavers and MS-Direct with performances from Melanie C and Noel Gallagher. The whole night was a fantastic success and the total raised on the night is now exceeding £350k.

- They will not be delivering letters (with the exception of Special Delivery).
Royal Mail thanks everyone for your patience and understanding during this time.
UK Bank Holiday – Monday 19th September 2022
Dear Customers,
As announced by King Charles III, Monday 19th September 2022 is a National Bank Holiday for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s State Funeral and to mark the last day of national mourning.
Like many of our suppliers, UKP Worldwide will be joining them and closing for the day to allow our colleagues to pay their respects. We will be back open as usual from Tuesday 20th September.
We do expect to experience slight delays as a result of the suspension of services, however, we hope these will be kept to a minimum. Should you have any concerns about your forthcoming campaigns, or parcel deliveries, please do not hesitate to contact our Client Services team at ukpclientservices@ukpworldwide.com.
Many thanks,
Guy Cliffe & Client Services
