Safety First!

Following the 'small fire incident' as reported in the 'No Hat, No Pancake' day Blog Post, it was time to make sure everyone was well trained in how to use a fire extinguisher!

So, after excellent training from Glen, we were all ready to have a go at the bottom of the car park!

 

 

 

As you can see in this action photo, Colin was the clear winner!

 

No Hat, No Pancake!

Pancake Day at DriveWorks!!

DriveWorks Masterchef!

On 25th January the ever-growing team of DriveWorks girls got together to take part in DriveWorks Masterchef!

We got together 3 recipes from one of the staff's blogs (Jess's Messes) and the baking began...

 

 

Everyone divided into little teams, but with no competitive element, and started doing their own individual tasks. We had Nicola and Maria working together making Chocolate Fondant, Sarah and Jane making the custard, and then everyone came together to make the various elements of the Gnocchi main course and Cheese Souffle starter.

 

 

Then of course the fun part, the eating...

The overall favourite was the souffle - which is wonderful considering that's the bit that everyone had a part in making!

 

 

 

After a full day at work, to come together and produce a 3 course meal, completely from scratch was a brilliant achievement, next time we'll have to see if it goes as well with the DriveWorks boys involved too...

Our Newest DriveWorks Recruit

Just in time for Christmas our newest recruit Nicola drives up to start work at the DriveWorks Office!

 

 Welcome to the team!!

DriveWorks Christmas Party 2011

On December 16th 2011 it was time for the annual DriveWorks Christmas Party at the Norton Grange Hotel in Rochdale!

We spent the day sharing some of the brilliant projects we have all been working on. It was a great daytime event where we all split up into little teams mixing Devs, Techs and Sales. We all had set tasks and then came back together to present comments and findings! And Discussion.

It was a fun day, and also a very useful day where we all learnt loads!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You'll have seen from previous posts, that the DriveWorks team works really hard, but equally it's not all just work, work, work. We all have to let our hair down sometimes, so then it was time for the party!

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE

FROM ALL THE DRIVEWORKS STAFF!
