Business.gov.uk Wins!

Apparently, www.business.gov.uk, which I worked on with Nykris, won best site at the IVCA awards last night. Fantastic! Many congratulations to everyone who worked on it.

Back from Holiday!

I’M BACK!!! I have finally returned from the Far East, after 5 weeks visiting Hong Kong, Yunnan and Beijing. It was good to get back to Hong Kong (I was brought up there) - it still feels like home.
