A Reading town centre-based estate agency wanted something special to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, so they turned to snow.
The company, based on Friar Street, welcomed back Tom Baker who creates highly detailed pictures using fake snow.
He crafted a recreation of Arnold Machin’s famous portrait used on our stamps since 1967, which can be seen in its window.
The picture isn’t the only way that the company has been celebrating the Queen’s big milestone – they’ve taken one of the Queen’s favourite animals and created a special video tribute.
A Haslams’ team member owns three corgis, and they came into the office for some regal walkies … and workies. The resulting footage is now being screened on the company’s video wall, delighting visitors.
A spokesperson for Haslams said the company was delighted to take part in the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
“Encouraged by our MD Steve Woodford, at Haslams we are big supporters of the local community, and we are making the most of our huge window displays to spread a bit of joy for Reading’s visitors and residents,” they explained.
“We have received amazing feedback from members of the public who have popped in to our office to share how much they enjoy the pictures of the Corgis and The Queen in our windows.”
They added: “We are lucky to have a staff member here at Haslams who has three of her own Corgis, so we took this opportunity to create some fun videos and images to celebrate Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee.”
