early morning TV broadcaster, GMTV introduced a new feature
for 2006. Lively entertainer, Keith Chegwin, took his roadshow
to factories and offices, to liven up their day during the grey
winter mornings.
Employee, Steve Wright, invited him along & Synatel were one of the first businesses to be visited by the
star. He was live 'on air' at 7.00am, 7.20am, 8.00am & 8.20am
with a mix of chat, Cheggers-y jokes and games.

Keith 'Cheggers' Chegwin arrived with the rest of his cheery
crew at 5.45am, ready and eager to start the day. Once their satellite
link was established, they were in constant communication with
GMTV 'HQ' back in London and waited for the 7.00 am start signal
to introduce Keith and Synatel to the usual 6million viewers they
get every day.
The 'zaney' star performed his usual madcap antics with jokes,
games and chat to the workers at Synatel. Members of staff had
made a special jumping game 'Jump-o-Meter' where people competed
against each other and a 10 second clock to see how many jumps
they could do. Keith used this as his 'Boss versus the workers'
game, where our Finance Director, Mr. V. K. Bahal competed against
Melanie Chambers from the Despatch department. V.K. won with Mel
being a close second.
 Various
GMTV goodies were given out throughout the morning and Sales Engineer,
Steve Wright even tried his hand at presententing, when he read
the £10,000 quiz question live on air. Sales Manager, Andrew
Titterton made a badge using a picture of Keith when he was just
12 years old and fitted it to a flashing LED. Keith proudly wore
the badge hrough the morning, and we believe he may have even
worn it on the next days transmission.
All members of staff arrived early for the show and some bought
family members and friends, to increase the numbers. Between live
segments, Keith signed autographs and mingled with workers and
visitors for a friendly chat.
 Live
'on-air' segments were seen at 7.00am, 7.20am (approx) & 8.20am
(approx).
After having a hot breakfast with everyone from Synatel, Keith
and the GMTV crew left at around 9.25am for their next destination
in Devon.
(Company empolyee, Steve Wright had filled in
a form on the GMTV website, requesting the visit from Keith Chegwin.
Out of 000's of requests Synatel was one of the lucky companies
to be chosen for a visit.).
