Our office in Rutland has a split personality. Normally, the ground floor is noisy because this is where our Client Services Team lives. Whereas the top floor, where our highly talented developers work, is a very studious place. They are deeply involved in designing and building very creative web sites and digital solutions for our clients, and so, the floor is a quiet place. The only regular break in the routine is a highly competitive table football league which is held in their ‘anarchy room.’

But, 13th March saw a break in the rhythm when our own Paul Walker, decided that we all had to do something funny for money for Red Nose Day. He promptly went out and purchased 15 red noses and challenged the developers in the office to wear their noses non-stop for two hours.

How easy did that sound? An hour and a half later, there were gasps for air and customers thinking that our development team was about to go down with ‘flu thereby stopping the work on their new web site or application. Two hours with a red nose on your beak is not as easy as it sounds.

Nevertheless, Paul succeeded in squeezing over £100 out of the development team and he nearly asphyxiated them at the same time. But it was all for a very good cause and was not half as breathless as all those celebrities hiking up Kilimanjaro for the cause!

And don’t worry. Production schedules were not affected!
