From nul points to new hopes
Are you waking with the feeling of a missed opportunity? If so, perhaps you also watched the entirety of the Eurovision 2024 last night. For years I’ve been tuning in and I can’t really explain why. The 2020 Will Ferrell / Rachel McAdams film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga went some way to capturingContinueContinue reading “From nul points to new hopes”

Grapevine’s 1st EO anniversary
This month had a near single focus; organise and host two events to celebrate Grapevine’s first anniversary as an employee owned business, with just a few weeks notice. Against the odds, we welcomed 60 guests to our home at 19-25 Nuffield Road on Wednesday this week. Since we made the transition to employee ownership inContinueContinue reading “Grapevine’s 1st EO anniversary”
