One year at Big Boy Websites...

Last night the Big Boy Websites team went to Tom and Keri's place

for wood fired pizza and a few drinks.

Last year, Alex was building one website a week at his desk in his wardrobe

(which I nicknamed Narnia) and doing all of the sales, marketing and paperwork

all by himself.

This December we have a whole team of people all doing their bit

and building between 3-6 websites a week.

I was lucky to get a job with Alex as soon as I finished Uni

and I've been getting busier and busier as the year goes by.

The best part about all of this is that we all genuinely like each other.

I would choose all of these guys as friends.

It makes for a great work environment

and it makes going to work so much better.

I'm super proud especially of my son James,

who joined us mid year. He's been doing an on-the-job

crash course in sales and he's doing so well.

I'm proud of how he has transformed his life.

I have loved loved loved getting to know Sarah.

She's our uber talented senior designer.

She's smart and she's funny and she's a shopaholic (along with Tom).

We send each other silly jokes and we have each other's backs.

Seeing the world through Tom's eyes is a revelation.

It is so cool to see things from a different perspective.

It's difficult to be an uptight human when you are around Tom.

He's kind too. He is someone you can rely on in a tight spot.

(I know because I have).

My dream when I went to University,

was to end up with a job where I was a small part of a team.

I wanted to be someone that could be relied on

but who didn't have to do the whole job.

I can safely say that I have found that spot.

I'm beyond grateful for this awesome team.

So looking forward to seeing how 2017 goes for us.
