We’ve recently been looking to bring someone in-house to strengthen our extended family of developers. After some healthy business growth and some very positive projections for the next year we were looking for smart creative people to fit in with the team. With that said, we’d like to say a big welcome to our new developer Liam Chapman – the newest member of the family.
Learning to say no at the right time can save you and your company time, effort and and a lot of pain. Said at the wrong time and it’ll bring you all of those and more.
We were recently offered a project to work on solely as designers to another agencies project. We’ve worked with these guys before and love working with them and still do. The budget was great and with the business booked out for a whole week it seemed to make great business sense to take it on. We’d already figured that this project alone could easily be used to re-invest in a new mac and all the software plus more for a new employee so there was a great reason to take the project on. But things don’t always run smoothly and in hindsight we should have refused the project from our original gut feeling.
Last month we announced that we were moving into new offices. A few peeps have asked to see some pics of the work so far… so check them out here. We’ve only managed a lick of paint, signage and desk space but being manically busy this year and having the holiday period recently we aim to push the rest of the office outfit through next month. We’ll keep you updated as the new features are added.
Yep you heard right we’re employing from today! How would you like the chance to work alongside some of the most talented designers in the industry? To be pushed and find ways to solve solutions every day? To love coming into work everyday and be paid well and not having to watch every minute of the day. To be trusted in your skills and abilities and not be micro-managed.
So apart from the heavy snow and slight disruption to the first week back at the office we’re pumped and ready to go for a great 2010. Now settled into our new surroundings (although a country location hasn’t seemed too wise the past few days) what else have we got lined up in the coming months and year?
To start with let’s give everyone a run down of a few sites that have gone live over the Christmas period and some exciting projects to come in the next few months.
