The Juniper Co. 22nd Anniversary Duck Race – line up announced!

Written on 11 April 2024 -

We cannot wait to get our Juniper (bath) ducks in the water next week and see which one takes the honours in our 22nd Anniversary Duck Race. Why a duck race, you may ask? For those less familiar with ‘bingo lingo’, the call for the number 22 in the game is ‘two little ducks’, taking its name from the fact that the number 2 looks like a little duck bobbing along on the water. Therefore, we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our 22nd birthday than having some fun with 22 little bath ducks. The race is on!

Our winning duck will receive a fabulous prize, which will include food and, or coaching (both of which are dear to our hearts). To decide whose names will be attached to the ducks, we asked friends of The Juniper Co. to share with us how they have been ‘Junipered’. In other words, how The Juniper Co. has had an impact on them. It was a pleasure to hear from so many friends and colleagues and we loved reading your stories.

So, without further ado, our runner (ducks) and riders for The Juniper Co. 22nd Anniversary Duck Race are:

Duck 1 – Archie Harwood, Harwoods CTO, and long-term client
