I’m aware that this still isn’t the Tokyo write-up I promised over a week ago. I’m not a travel blogger or a food critic, so the process of constructing such an entry has been a much more difficult task then I expected. However, as this is my company blog, I thought I ought to keep everyone posted on what’s been going on with the company in recent weeks.

On a sad note, I was forced to let our beloved Andrew go at the end of last month (October). He’s been with us since the beginning but things just hadn’t worked out the way we’d like them to. It was with a heavy heart that we said our goodbyes. We appreciate everything he’s done for us and wish him the best of luck with all his future endeavors.

Fortunately, we’ve added Sir Thomas to our merry band of brothers (and sister) and although he is with us only on a part-time basis, he’s been a real positive influence since starting in mid-October, and I’ll have him introduce himself here soon.

On the production side, since the arrival of Thomas things have really started to pick up with our iPhone application development. Louis has been working tirelessly on our company’s branding and soon we’ll be pushing out a brand new look to hopefully go with our shiny new iPhone application come December. Yes, I know we look good now, but we will be looking even better in the coming weeks.

Along with the re-branding exercise, Wing, our marketing worker-bee, has been buzzing nonstop in preparation for our ongoing effort to find clients for the web design and development side of our business. After all, a small company like ours can’t afford to be without ongoing income from external sources if we are to stay afloat.

With the recent financial turmoil, companies are far more conservative with their spending. They are looking for a smarter way to spend their limited budget, and we might be able to position ourselves as the best bang for their buck given our status as a virtual unknown, hell bent on being the best at what we do.

Also, we’ve decided to go with HSBC for our staff’s MPF scheme as well as our business banking. It is to be hoped that this will simplify things.

My Tokyo story is till forthcoming, but don’t hold your breath, it could be a little while still.
