In fact, if you’re feeling particularly numerate, why not work out your overall percentage too? (Don’t worry if your adding up isn’t so great or percentages aren’t your thing.

One more blog ‘til Christmas…

Well, that’s nearly it from us for this year. Apart from one more blog to come and fielding any last-minute customer calls, we’re going to start our New Year resolution early – and make sure we do a proper December wind-down.

We hope you get to do the same and if you do have an office party planned, here’s to your glass never being empty and your photocopier always being full of toner ?

Until next time...
