FT are you going all Google and having hammocks and break out areas for staff to brain storm in
We need to some pictures when done.
The north / south divide.
Down south you retain the services of a project manager and branding consultant. Up north we get the builders in.
Great progress FT. It sounds like a real struggle between head (costs) and heart (vision). I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end. Make sure the space works for you and how you work and it's an office that you and your staff love to work in. Can't wait to see the photos!
I have to disagree with the comments you have made regarding Accountants being business advisers.
Many Accountants, perhaps the majority, are just number crunchers - it's what they were born to do and do very well.
However some of us have very good entrepreneurial vision, which coupled with our analytical skills and problem solving ability, makes us great advisers to businesses. Personally I feel that I'm more an entrepreneur than an accountant at times, the ideas I produce at client meetings have lead to millions of pounds of extra turnover and profits for my clients over the years. I've also got a few calls wrong, which happens, but the lessons learned have always been valuable and have helped the clients to become better in the long term. Nobody had to take my advice though and quite a few don't, and I do take a shameful pride when my advice turns out to have been correct :)
In relation to your new premises I think it's great you have really gone for it and invested in professional help. I'm sure it will look wonderful and look forward to you sharing some images in the blog when it's done.
