Gabriella -
not a fella
March 2009
The Bridge Group’s PR Team has grown by precisely 48cm following the arrival of its newest member, Gabriella Elizabeth Hallmark.
Daughter of PR manager Michelle Hallmark, Gaby, was born on March 13 (Friday) and weighed in at a healthy 7lbs, 4oz, although by all accounts cuteness levels were off the scale.
Taking after her mum, Gaby’s time management has already proved flawless; she successfully got dad out of bed at 5am only to make her arrival at the more civilised hour of 7:40pm.
In true Hallmark-style, Gaby achieved 10 out of 10 for her first exam – albeit it the one taken after one minute of life assessing breathing, agility and the ability to get noticed.
Michelle said: “I may have perfected the art of press releases but learning nursery rhymes is a whole new challenge. I’m already teaching Gaby about what makes a good story – starting with finding out why Humpty was on the wall in the first place.
“I’m glad she met her first deadline, beating her due date by at least three days, but am still getting over the fact she’s not a boy as everyone predicted.”
Nicola Winn, managing director, said: “We’re so happy for Michelle and Stephen and wish them all the best in their new parental roles. We look forward to meeting Gaby Hallmark in the near future.”
