I met with our PR agency the other day and in our meeting they handed me a photocopy of a newspaper article from the Newcastle based Sunday Sun, which they suggested I should feature on the blog. Intrigued I quickly cast my eye over it. The first paragraph introduced an Anthony Smith, a fleet manager from Whickham, Gateshead who had been shortlisted for the Tomy “Daddy Idol” award, based “on his looks” and “what makes him a good dad”. After doing double take on the picture I quickly realised this Daddy Idol finalist was our very own Tony Smith!
Unfortunately, the modest Tony (or Anthony as the article refers to him) did not tell anyone at work about his entry so we were unable to help him get enough votes to help him win the award. But we are delighted to recognise his achievement on the blog and I encourage anyone to join me in congratulating Tony on his Daddy Idol nomination!
