Win a holiday with the boss!

Posted by Michelle Harris under News, purpleplanet, Stuff | 22 Comments

purpleplanet VacationDear Treasured Readers,

It all started off as a joke, when we discussed running a competition for “Matt’s holiday friend”. We then realized that there are probably many people needing a vacation and a companion – and so it was born…

The prize

A week’s vacation with Matt, founder, owner and Principal Consultant of purpleplanet – Software Solutions. You will need to pay for your own flight, but accommodation will be covered. Food and drink…well, we can discuss that too, I’m sure!

To win

Matt August 2011In 60 words, or less, suggest a holiday destination for you and Matt and why he should choose you to accompany him there.

Please email all answers to: vacation@purpleplanet.com

Matt will choose the answer that he finds most original, funny, clever, etc. Basically, it’s totally rigged!!

Closing date for entries is next Friday, 26th August at midnight, CET (currently GMT+2).

One winner will be chosen and should be available to travel for 5-7 days, sometime between Friday 16th September and Wednesday 12th October, 2011. Duration and exact dates will be discussed with the winner.

Let’s make Matt’s first proper holiday in 9 years one to remember!

    If the destination has no phones, Internet or television and only white sandy beaches and umbrella drinks with fabulous food… I’m in!
