We get through lots of coffee at Silver Chair so we have started buying Kenco Coffee Refill packs to do our bit for the planet! When we have finished with a packet we can post it, free of charge to Terracycle, an international ‘upcycling’ company, who turn our packs into new products.

Terracycle believe recycling is good, but upcycling is better. When you recycle a lot of energy goes into breaking down the waste and creating something new, whereas upcycling uses more of the waste in its original form to create a new product! This way Terracycle can turn our refill packets into bags, pencil cases, plant pots and more! You also get points for the amount of packets you send in and for every point Terracycle donate money to your favourite charity :-) Our upcycled bag and pencil case have just arrived at Silver Towers, very stylish and great to see our waste going to good use, enjoy your coffee break!

Chris had a fancy dress party to go to last week and a Top Gun outfit that was too big, so he decided to alter it himself! He was, weirdly, quite a dab hand on the sewing machine, if a little wonky on the stitching!

The final result is below, lets hope it wasn’t too restricting and he could still throw some shapes on the dancefloor! As Iceman would say, “you can be my wingman any day!”

This month is all about the disco house sound from Germany’s Tensnake. His latest track “Coma Cat” is causing a real stir on all good dance floors.

The team are enjoying the disco delights of Walter Jones, especially their underground hit ‘Living without your love’. Watch the YouTube video below or call us and ask to be put on hold for a short office boogie!

The digital team did some great work reviewing and testing our new usability model on the new content and pages of our website.

It was national chip week last week and some of the guys celebrated 150 years by buying a lot of chips and trying to eat them throughout the day, it was a very good fryday…

A modern disco take on an 80's soul boogie classic "Just be good to me" from SOS Band back in the day. The Revenge with lead Singer from Crazy P turning out a real slow disco burner for this new version :-) Buy MP3

We had a really interesting workshop with Nick Tadd from SocialMediaGraffiti showcasing some interesting new technologies and interaction techniques on Twitter…
