We’re back to the office! Plus, five NerdCow features in the media

As the UK slowly opens up during the pandemic, we are finally back in the office! The latest stage of loosening restrictions on Monday, 17th of May, marked our first month at the new location. After over a year of working from home, we have moved to an office right next to the Aldgate East tube station. As our team commutes mostly by bike, the amazing Cycle Superhighway is a blessing.

We couldn’t be happier to be back and the creative space is a huge improvement over the remote reality. The team was eager to return to the office in a safe manner and the first month proved to be a success. So much so that we might consider upgrading to a bigger space soon – stay tuned for that! In the meantime, here’s a lovely panoramic view from the roof garden of our building.

We hope everyone is keeping safe and we can’t wait to see you soon. If not for full duration of workshops just yet, then maybe for a socially distanced cup of coffee at our office in the near future.

On top of the great office news, our team was recently featured in a number of media publications. The topics range from advice for business website owners, all the way to mental health in the remote environment. Our contributions appeared alongside other industry experts so we hope you find the information valuable.
