- R.I.P. News Section
-
We've decided it's time to say goodbye to our news section. We've become very active bloggers since the conception of the site and the static news section just doesn't cut the mustard compared with the level of social interaction that blogging invites.
So it just remains to say, Rest In Peace News Section you will probably not be missed at all.

- Shortlisted For "Best Commercial Website" Award
-
We're delighted to have been shortlisted for "Best Commercial Website" at this years Big Chip Awards for the Heaven SPA website.
We've been to the Big Chip Awards a couple of times now and always enjoyed the evening as a chance to mix with our peers and celebrate some of the great work that happens here in the North West. After enthusiastically celebrating everyone else's success last year we decided we would set ourselves the goal of getting one of our projects in the shortlist for this year.
Having succeeded we're under no great illusion that we might win given the class of opposition but it's certainly nice to think we're being considered.
The Big Chip Awards take place on Wednesday 24th May 2006 at New Century Hall, Manchester.
Well Done Us!
