What's the origin of "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON"?

You probably already know the famous poster "Keep Calm and Carry On" but, do you know where does it come from?

These publication was designed by the British Government in 1939, when the Second World War was started. Its aim was motivational and it was focused on strengthen British people's morale in the event of a wartime disaster, such as mass bombing of major cities using high explosives and poison gas.  Its distribution was limited, although more than 2,500,000 posters were produced, that is the reason why there were not well known at that time. 

This publication came after other two which said: "Freedom Is In Peril. Defend It With All Your Might"  y "Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory".


How does the last years "Boom" start?


Its re-discovery took place in the year 2000 ,when Stuart Manley and his wife Mary found an original copy and hung it at their workplace, Barter Books.

The poster was so successful that they started to commercialize it, big private companies realize how famous it was and began to use it as well ,and after that as you all know, it was being used as a decorative object. 

From that moment, there had been many imitations and parodies of the famous poster, some talk about the most stupid topics, some are politically incorrect or protest.


This is how an original "Keep Calm and Carry On" looks like.

30's in London? YES YOU CAN!

Ezio, one of our Italian customers, has been working in a telecommunication company in the north of Italy, until it closed due to the economic crisis.

Bored of the Italian economic context, Ezio decided to come to London and change his life!
How? Thanks to Come2England.
Without knowing anyone in London and with a basic English knowledge, he decided to call us and asked for help.

The results?

In less than one week Ezio has found a job in a Turkish Restaurant. He is now very satisfied with both Come2England team and his employer who is spending time training him and who is also very patient regarding his "work in progress" English level.

Future plans?

Becoming the Manager of the Restaurant as a return for the employer's faith in him!!

.....We are happy for you Ezio, you are doing it right! :)

Alfonso´s expectations


"I came to London because I believe it is one of the most important cities in Europe but, most of all because I never heard people talking about the crisis in this country!

I was looking on Facebook trying to find different job opportunities in London and I happened to find Come2England.

First I was impressed by your logo and customer service you have on Facebook, then I saw the ad you use to post and I decided to call them.

The service was incredible and I think they should definitely advertise more what they do because Come2England can be for sure one of the best companies here.
Now that I have found a job I want to stay here and why not...maybe become a Manager!"
