Movin' on up

After big year of growth, our trusty premises in Newton Street no longer fit the bill…or our expanding team.

Meanwhile, the DIAMOND Comms team were feeling a bit isolated over there in Griffiths Rd, Lambton.

Now we’re sitting pretty in brand new, purpose-built offices just around the corner in Kings Road.

The décor’s pretty impressive, as are the stats – 800 square metres of space with the ability to expand to 1400 square metres when we’re ready.

Here are some pics of the new DIAMOND HQ

Recently released by leading systems security company, Trend Micro, LeakProof^TM 3.1 offers comprehensive protection of sensitive data at rest, in use and in motion.

DBA (Death by acronym)

It’s a bit tricky to deal with the current economic turmoil (CET) when we can’t even agree on what to call it. Is it a Global Economic Crisis (GEC)? A Global Financial Crisis (GFC)?

Maybe it’s a Global Economic Downturn (GED). Or a Where Did My Super Go??? (WDMSG???).

The media have let us down badly on this one. We need an acronym and we need it NOW!

The last word

Breathe.
