As the Myakka team keeps growing, space in the office was becoming a premium. Only a month ago there were up to twelve people working in an office that would comfortably sit eight! Something big had to be done so we took the decision to move upstairs into the old, derelict offices that were last used around 12 years ago.
After a renovation project which started in May, we made the big move up to our new offices on Monday 3rd October. And this certainly was a big task as we upgraded all our systems at the same time, so the IT guys were working hard to sort everything out as well as train us on a new phone system!
So we’re all still getting used to having so much space! We haven’t got our new desks yet so we are making use of some Mallani Dining Tables from the clearance section until the new office furniture arrives. There’s also a nice big window running along the length of the room which means we can now see what the weather is doing rather than just look out into the warehouse… it truly is onwards and upwards for Myakka.
On Wednesday 5th October we even had a little opening ceremony complete with ribbon cutting and a glass of bucks fizz for the whole team. Alexandra took the whole occasion very seriously and even wore a rather spectacular hat in honour of the occasion (…or perhaps it was just being returned after a recent wedding!).
