Moving On
Moving On
For 7 years, Impact has called 15 Little Portland St home,
however in a couple of short weeks we will be upping sticks and
moving on! Due to the continuous success we have experienced over
the last 7 years it is time to move to a bigger and better office
where we can continue to grow and flourish - exciting times ahead!
As we prepare to move to our new stomping ground of Farringdon we
reflect on the things we will miss about our home here tucked
behind Oxford Circus, the things we won't miss and the things we
are looking forward to about our new home.
Things we won't miss -
Fighting the crowds on Oxford Street to get to the office
- There is nothing worse when you are in a rush than being stuck
behind someone whose arrival at their destination is not as time
sensitive as yours, or who happens to slow to a snail's pace when
they walk and talk on their phone at the same time.
Climbing the stairs to our office - the
3rd floor, our own personal
Everest.
The intimate (read far too intimate) design of our
bathrooms.
Things we will miss -
Fighting the crowds on Oxford Street to get to the office
- there is a smug sense of self -satisfaction you get from knowing
you are a faster walker than about 90% of people on Oxford St,
proof that there is an athlete inside you and that if you had
committed yourself maybe just maybe you could have had a career in
professional walking, bitter regret.
Climbing the stairs to our office - goodbye thighs of
Zeus.
Kaffeine - One of the best coffee shops in London. Let's
stay friends Kaffeine, though we can't promise we won't see other
people.
Liberty & Selfridges - Say no more.
Things we are looking forward to (really, really looking
forward to!) -
Though, as we mentioned, we are sad to be moving further
away from Kaffeine, we are pretty excited that we are moving to an
area where the density of places to get great coffee within a ½
mile radius is pretty high. Impact Creative Recruitment Ltd, soon
to be more caffeinated than ever.
Being in an amazing location where we will share the
company of many amazing creative companies - Farringdon is
the place to be!
A brand new and shiny office with more space, a better
sound system, a bigger fridge and closer proximity to a pub that
broadcasts Premier League matches (some of the team are more
excited about this than others).
For those of us whose route homeward is via Old Street we
will be able to pop in to Shoreditch Grind for a constitutional
espresso martini on the way home, every day will be
Friday!
Before we say "goodbye" to Oxford Circus and "hello" to
Farringdon there is much to do. Moving is never without its
challenges, none more daunting then finally having to face the
accumulation of all those things you said you'd "get rid of it
later". Later is now! Then there is the shredding which is
cathartic for about five minutes and then becomes the bane of your
existence with no foreseeable end. We better get to
it.
Wish us luck for the big move - we'll keep you
updated!
