What a busy year
Covid has shown those able to work from home that it can work. However, when people are at home more, those little annoyances that they can get away from for the 9-10 hours they are at work, they end up staring at all day. Others, like a guy working for a company in London, bought a flat in Glasgow…so location is not as vital as it once was, helped by good wifi and an appropriately flexible job of course. We also work from home, mostly other peoples.

We want to remain busy as we know more of our clients will receive the best possible information.
