We’ve outgrown our office, so we’ve taken a second room in GEC

Dovetail has grown in employee numbers quite quickly over the past 2 years. As a result we’ve run out of desk space in our GEC based office, so we’ve rented a second room, right next door. Four of the Dovetail team (myself included) have now moved into the new room.

We discussed different names for the new room, initially landing on dovetail 2. This name was not satisfactory as it inferred that we were a lesser side of Dovetail (not even remotely true!!), so we looked to geography and our two rooms are now called “Dovetail east” and “Dovetail west”. 

We’ve been settling in nicely over the past few weeks, the east is a little quieter as there is less equipment and phones ringing, but we do miss out on a bit of the usual Dovetail banter. It’s okay though, the Nespresso coffee machine is still in the west, so we visit regularly to catch up on the daily gossip. 

Having 2 rooms has taken a little getting used to, but it’s a part of growth and a sign of exciting times ahead for Dovetail as we adjust to a bigger team.
