Focus
|
Welcome to our first newsletter of 2021! Despite the challenges brought by last year, we're reflecting on our highlights. We used the opportunity of remote working to improve links and forge new R&D projects with our international offices, and we brought people closer together with some great interactive socials.
We've started 2021 with new hope and with a focus on the future. A focus on data driven, sustainable design. A focus on delivering the best projects for our clients and for the world around us.
