cranberry panda is 4 years old!

Happy Birthday to us! Today is officially our 4th Birthday.

We’re like the Queen, although not quite as vintage, and have two birth dates and it has nothing to do with the weather. Our first and financial birthday is 28^th February when Joe and Jonathan perched on two cardboard boxes and conceived cranberry panda back in 2010. Our official birthday is May 1^st when Jonathan built his Ikea desk and started trading. This is the day we allow everyone to join in with our celebrations and refer to it as Trooping of the Panda. Just call us regal pandas.

In the past four years we’ve gone from a one man band to a team of 12 (including our Portuguese Pandas Joe and Matt). We’re also celebrating that March this year was our record month for placements so we’re definitely improving with age.

Is there a better way to celebrate than jetting off into the land known as Portugal? We think not. We've packed our sun cream, sombreros and shot glasses, and we're ready to celebrate in style.

As it’s our 4th birthday, we’ll leave you with these 4 panda facts:

• Pandas are pigeon toed;
• Pandas are solitary animals and don’t usually group together;
• However they do enjoy an annual trip together to sunny Portugal;
  
• The average size of a panda’s penis is 3cm.
