We celebrated 25 years in business on the 25th of August with a barbecue at bd2 studios attended by current and former staff, friends and family. It was great to meet up with some old friends and to reminisce over a beer or 2, or 3 before heading into Sherrington's next door later on.
It was great to catch up with many old faces both in person at the party and in various email and message exchanges with those who have moved away and couldn't make it. In fact this was a very heartwarming exercise with some of those absentees sending in some very kind comments too:
“I would have to say that bd2 has been the best job I have had in my career and that’s down to all of you and the great environment at the company.” James.
“It’s funny, over the years I’ve always subconsciously held you and bd2 as the benchmark for an awesome employer/working environment. It’s only been matched once in 28 years. I hope the team appreciate what an awesome company they work for ;)” Mike.
"Great company and great people!" Rob.
"Thanks again for the invite. Great evening and good to catch up with the bd2 crew. My 5 years with you guys will always be fondly remembered." Rory.
Thanks for the invite! It was really nice to catch up with everyone and congratulations on 25 years! I’d totally echo Rory and Rob’s thoughts here, loved my time at bd2 - thanks for taking the chance on me all those years ago." Dave.
Nights like these and all the lovely comments make it all worth while!
As well as a 25 year retrospective book, as shown in a previous blog post, we also put together this 25 year video: https://vimeo.com/856760678
With thanks to Warren at WL Catering who provided the buffet, which was great too!
