In a few hours we'll have made it to our holiday close-down. Each year we have a barbeque and a few drinks after work on the last day, and, because we operate from three sites (Bindery, Lab, IT team, not to mention a few outliers), it isn't possible to get everyone together for it. Which is a pity, because it's quite an emotional event - and a bit greasy too, given I'm one of those that helps with the cooking! Only a grinch could fail to notice what a friendly, hard-working, supportive bunch the people who work here are and what fun they are to be with. It's a real shame we can't all meet up. But who's really missing is you. Our customers ... scattered all over the world. We wish we could meet up face to face ... offer you a drink, and a good kiwi BBQ sausage (!) ... or maybe some of the veg. Alkesh will be picking up from Bikanervaler. Despite the distance we hope you understand how much you mean to us. I'm not talking dollars and cents here, just the common humanity and good will that is at the heart of any long-standing business relationship. We do wish you were here. Thank you for everything, very best wishes from all of us, enjoy the holiday with your family and friends, and see you in the New Year. Cheers Ian (on behalf of everyone at Queensberry)
