Welcome to Optimism

customised radiator

When we moved into the building we weren’t very happy with the radiators that were fitted in reception. They got easily bashed and looked crap. We were planning to have them replaced but the quotes we got were crazily steep. Then Tony decided to use what seemed to be a design flaw – the way the vanes could be twisted out of shape – to give the existing radiators a makeover.

He’s very happy with this. Decorative and functional. If it still works.

Micky

Micky’s leaving us to go and live in Dubai. Which is sad for us but exciting for her. We had a few drinks last night at the Golden Heart.

She sent us really nice farewell message:

I feel proud and privileged to have been part of the Wieden+Kennedy family for 14 months (!) and am genuinely very sad to leave. The work’s great. The people are even better.

And last but by no means least, thank you to Shay for putting up with me for 11 years and sticking with it through thick and thin. Best of British to you mate.

This is Shay, Micky’s (work) partner, whose birthday we also celebrated yesterday evening.
