Goodbye, old friend. You have been the home. You have been the home for us.*
But it's time to move to pastures/offices new. We'll miss your breeze block, astrotruf halls
Your many entrances
All the fun times
The bendy times
And the snowy times when we should have been working
We'll miss the special rooms that weren't meeting rooms
And all the boring corners
Good times, good times.
Best of luck with all your future occupants, Goldhawk Industrial Estate
May they appreciate you as much as we did (and be slightly less messy and more respectable of your car park).
*and apologies for using the music of J Blunt to sing you out in style
I am shedding a tear but look forward to seeing the photos of the brand spanking new office...

Wow so sad. I know that really sad feeling of closing down shop at a location. You feel like you lose a part of yourself. You spend so much time at the place, it's not just just a store or location, it becomes part of you. Life goes on though. Good luck on your new office.

Yeah, I know - in Belgium my first year in the new job in 2007 was in a little home they called the WHITE HOUSE. As an American in Belgium, I said "well, finally made it to the white house"- then they moved to a steel and glass apt complex… NOT THE SAME-- this move seems, well a bit more innocent - LOVE YOUR PRODUCTS!

I feel like I am moving too as I have seen you grow over the years and followed your creativity and new recipes. I hope you don't lose the bannana phone as that is key to your success. This time I may fulfill a life long (well almost 9 years) ambition and actually come and visit you.......... if I am invited, that is!

Agree Jacob. It's really sad :( we all had some good times in goldhawk road. Look forward to seeing the news place

What? No way. No more random celebrities in the car park, all day meetings at the Thatched, or extra large falafels from the market. How sad.

Thank you for the spot, Sue. It was an emotional afternoon. Hence the spelling mistake.
Jacob, Lauren and Geoff - we miss you all. There's a mug with your name and baby photo in the new place.
They've lasted that long...

Good luck in your new home. Am sure once you get innocently organised it'll be just as quirky and fun as the old place and with even more room for your AGM.

Going to miss you innocent
just down the road.
I liked to know you were there, in sun or snow(ed).
I've been your supplier,
Enjoyed that hire,
I could cycle to you,
Guess I still can too,
Enterprise and zest,
They never rest,
Here's to all of you!

What a fantastic atmosphere and culture you have in your company. Innocent looks like a great company to be part of!
