Shiny new office

CODEC has just converted its ground floor motorbike park into a new office - see before and after photos. It’s so posh; tiled floor and walls, glass windows and even curtains. As soon as the Director had made the decision and found the funds for the building work, he made a phone call to a builder and work started the next day. It was all finished within three weeks, without any need for planning permission, health and safety inspections, project management or qualified trades-people – very refreshing! And very cheap by our standards – the workmen earned around $2 per day. Lots of plastic chairs were bought, which means less sitting on the floor for me – hoorah! A couple of desks have been installed, one of which is nominally for me, although I am sure it will become a hot desk for all staff over time. Upstairs is now supposed to be a space for workshops and meetings but all the recent meetings have been held downstairs to show off our lovely new room!
