We're officially excited now that the plans have been approved for the new Duckhouse HQ! We've outgrown our tiny office and are looking forward to a brighter, lighter space in which we can come up with more smashing designs and have more room for meetings etc.

I've been talking with the guys who are going to help with the conversion of one of the outbuildings at Willow Cottages and everything seems to be sorted. The timber's just about on order and over the next few months we'll all be getting stuck in to the build.

Once completed the new office will give us plenty of room to meet with clients and maybe even have a few friends over on Friday afternoons! Still within spitting distance of Chelmsford town centre we're ideally located for local businesses and the location of the building allows plenty of parking so I'm really pleased that the whole project's been given the go ahead.

We're also going to get a new beer fridge!
