This will be the final update for this blog as we have all moved in and been operating from our new larger premises for the last 3 weeks. There have been a few teething problems like where to buy the milk and sugar from, but we’ve handily discovered that the Caterfood depot next door [...]

Here’s the photo I was promising to give an idea of what reception now looks like. The floor is now complete and the stairs have been lined with the same material. The reception desk is also now complete and has turned out to be a lot bigger than previously expected.

Ok so to announce the official move date is a bit dangerous but I’m confident we’ll get it done.SD Fire Alarms will be moving in on the 22nd of February and will begin operating there on the 25th!
