Default We're in! Check out our new gaff :)

I've been quiet on the forum for the last week or so as we've been moving office. But after a few email shennigans, cable patching headaches and humping and dumping heavy desks, we're in

After 4 years, we'd outgrown our cramped office in the small market town of Henley in Arden (and its incredibly slow broadband!) so have moved to the town of Alcester, just a few miles outside of Stratford Upon Avon.

We've moved into a beautifully converted old building, the Minerva Mill Innovation Centre, that looks like an old textile mill, but apparently used to make needles.

There are a few companies based here, including the National Trust, who are just moving in, plus we now have plenty of new pubs to check out!

So if you're ever passing through Alcester, head over to the Mill and say hello, there's always a pot of coffee on

Congratulations! I'm not properly focused today yet. For some reason my first response was "ooh, what sort of needles?" which is a stupid thing to say as I doubt there are many still knocking about the place.

If I am ever in the vicinity I'll swing by. Mine's tea, white, two sugars.

lol, pinched from the site, "It has not made needles since 1912 when, after 30 years under the Allwoods, it went bankrupt." Ahh well, nothing changes in the business world?

The current owner spent 10 years doing the place up and converting it to offices, but fair play, he's done a cracking job.

Right Clive, we need to get some more teabags and a posh cup for Mary

Needles - as long as you've not got any voodoo dolls we should be ok!

Congrats on the move... next canary wharf?
