Paying homage to the ultimate swimming champion
By Ian Hewson
07 August 2012
From Rebecca Adlington and Hannah Miley to Robbie Renwick and Michael Jamieson, we all love to watch Great Britain’s top performing swimmers and cheer them on as they cut a path through the water in an adrenaline-fuelled race.

By Ian Hewson
25 May 2012
There comes a time in all of our lives when we begin to question some of the things we were told as a child – pull a funny face when the wind changes and you’ll be stuck like that; sit too close to the TV and your eyes will go square.

Customers' coats of many colours
By Mark Powles
11 July 2011
One of the good things about working with so many different businesses is the huge spectrum of requirements, solutions and situations you encounter.
