THOUGH England may have been disappointed with the outcome of this evening's friendly international against Brazil at Wembley, a Thurrock team of workers have had special reason to celebrate their association with the visitors' 1-0 victory.

Ahead of the game the Brazil team spent the week at the Arsenal training ground for their pre match training and the visiting federation wanted specially-marked coach to ferry the players around – and to tonight's match.

And the job needed to be done quickly – with Grays-based firm Grayers Graphics stepping up to the challenge.

Company director Paul Grayer said: "I got a call on the Wednesday from one of our clients to say that the FA was in desperate need to source a vehicle wrapping company that could work through the night and get the Brazil team bus fully wrapped by the next day.

"I was proud to hear that our company's name was put forward for the challenge.

"It didn't take me long to gather the team together and make the decision that we were going to see the project through to completion regardless of timescales that we had.

"The coach turned up at around 7pm after dropping all the players off to their hotel. Our print production team was straight on setting up all the print files while we had another driving to our supplier to collect five rolls of canary yellow wrap film,

"By about 8pm we were able to start the install,

"Working through the night we eventually completed the coach with just four installers.

"I'm so proud of my team for being so dedicated to the project to get it done, and after delivering the coach to the Brazilian federation the next morning the feedback was incredible.

"We even got offered the job to complete any Brazil team coach across Europe.

"As an Essex-based graphics company we couldn't be more excited to see the players getting on and off of the job that we completed.

"Grayers Graphics are currently celebrating our 20 year anniversary and with this being a special year for the company this project and the potential of what's to come really made the all-nighter worthwhile."
