I have just posted a link to this page from the Travel Weekly forum in a conversation with Sunshine’s MD.

I suggested to him he should buy me a pint in the “pub with a nice beer garden” next time I am in Fleet. It will probably never happen I guess, anyway good luck with your new offices.

@Chris – Whilst I like the blue on the front, surely you could persuade them an equally bright shade of orange is a great step forward

@ David – Cheers, not sure it’ll go with the blue!

@ Darren – It has taken a while to get here, and I’ve only moved from the bedroom to the study

@ Rob – Cheers for the link Rob, very interesting, who’d have thought the office space could have such an impact!

Nice work Chris! Office looks great. Good motivation for those of us trying to get out of the spare bedroom!

@ Marchamont Scarred? Sounds ominous!

@ Matt We’re not a VC funded start-up! We actually do work and also make money

Buy a huge TV, a PS3, a beer fridge and some beanbags. And a pinball table. And an office dog.

Congratulations!

Been there, done that. Still scarred from the experience.

Is that a solid floor? If so, that’s really going to limit your layout.

Anyway, secondhand office furniture and server type kit is very cheap at the mo. ebay is an obvious choice for servers.

And get your comms cabinet (yes you will need one eventually so get it now) as far away from human beings as you can. Hot in Summer and damn noisy at any time of year.

Best of luck.

Cheers Andy,
being the geeks we are, we’re quite excited about getting to play with/installing all the IT stuff!
