How did Zwig get its name?

Zwig is a tip of the hat to Mr. Fezziwig, a character Charles Dickens created for A Christmas Carol. In film adaptations of that holiday classic, Mr. Fezziwig has been interpreted in many ways. Always jovial, usually corpulent, sometimes more bacchanalian than others, in the movies he reminds us when it’s time to put work aside, close up the books, and celebrate.

But we at Zwig know Dickens intended for Mr. Fezziwig to represent more than a reminder to have your office party. In the book, Dickens offers this on Mr. Fezziwig’s invitation list:

… In came all the young men and women employed in the business. In came the housemaid, with her cousin, the baker. In came the cook, with her brother’s particular friend, the milkman. In came the boy from over the way, who was suspected of not having board enough from his master; trying to hide himself behind the girl from next door but one, who was proved to have had her ears pulled by her mistress

It wasn’t just an office party. Mr. Fezziwig knew there were people in need in the larger community - took the time to see it - and did what he could to ameliorate suffering, add a bit of joy.

Zwig figures that if we all, as individuals and as organizations, followed Mr. Fezziwig’s lead, the world would be just that much better a place. And we’re looking forward to working with those who feel the same way.
