grand opening

The population of Fruit Towers has been growing quietly but steadily for a while now. So it was time to get in some more desks and a few extra beanbags. And after months of anticipation, the red ribbon was cut on Monday, opening a whole new wing ('wing' might be pushing it a bit) on the southern end of the building. We even had some yoghurt treats to celebrate. That's how wild things get around here.

To celebrate the opening of the new South Wing, we asked Jenny a few questions. She was the project manager of the whole building thing and is the person who basically keeps the office running like a well-oiled machine.

How long has it taken to do up unit 6 (aka the South Wing)?
We moved in there on 11th August so it has taken just over 3 months to do.

How many new desks does it have?
30 new desks

How many metres of astroturf did it take?
204sq/m to be precise...and lots of daisies

Who supplied the nice yoghurt stuff?
Momafoods. Tom and Amy set up Moma on February 24th of this year.

Any weird and wonderful facts about Ian the builder?
No, he is just brilliant. Although his wife did get really angry with him when he was working late here one day and missed his delicious dinner of lamb shanks.

Lou and Viv used to have nothing but some white bricks to gaze at during low points in the afternoon. Now they have a beautiful view. Lucky things.

Does all that astroturf see much putting action?

Hi Simon,
Sadly no, not a lot of putting action at all. Although now that we have more space, it could be a good idea to introduce a regular Thursday afternoon putting session. The beanbags could pose a problem but you gotta try, right? I shall pass the idea on and let you know...

Can i recommend some clothing for your putting sesions? dressed to a tee produce some fine quality organic cotton golf shirts and t-shirts. Just perfect for that impromptu thursday afternoon putting competition?!

Try our lucky tees and balls to give you the edge over fellow competitors. They come recommended by Colonel Bogey who has won numerous putting trophies in his time on the swing easy tour...

Feel free to send any putting technique queries to spike@dressedtoatee.co.uk and come and visit us at dressedtoatee.co.uk

Whatever happens keep smiling and swing easy :)
