First FREE space for creative minds in Yorkshire

Martin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:44:54 +0000

From September 1st, Connected are throwing their doors open to any creative types

What? Yup, we’re opening 1,500 sq ft of cool office space to anyone who wants to use it

We already have quite a few friends and clients who use our office space and we thought, “to hell with, invite everyone In”

Great minds thinks alike, CONNECTED for FREE

We’ve got FREE ultra high-speed Wi-Fi, hot desks, huge LCD screens, sofas, colour printers (A3/A4), usability testing suite, a great library, parking, a massive conference table for 18 people, breakfast bar, all-day cafe (not free, sorry) plus an art gallery to refresh tired creative juices.

You will also have access to some of the best brains in the web marketing world, for FREE

We’re running this experiment until the end of year so why not drop us an email, find us on LinkedIn, visit our Facebook page or just drop in and say hello.

We’re open from 10am every working day. Our coffee pod machine is a Krups Dolce Gusto so bring along a pack of pods, mine’s a Cafe Lungo.

Even if you are not strictly creative in terms of pretty pictures, maybe you are just creative from an entrepreneur point of view, maybe you simply crave the company of bright, link-minded, people.

This week: beard week

Just for a laugh this week, we’ve decided to have a ‘beard week’, so no shaving from last Friday to see who can come up with the best beard – we’ll have marks for colour, length, style, funniest looking and density.

We’ll let you know the outcome!

Next week is vinyl week, followed by old photo week. Keep an eye out for some of the fun! Any suggestions for the following weeks?

Corporate responsibility

Connected are one of the world’s leading providers of web-personalisation platforms and as an employer and significant business partner we are committed to taking our corporate responsibilities very seriously indeed.

We define our corporate social responsibility as:

Environment

We actively measure the scale of impact our operation has on the environment and
are committed to exploring ways of reducing the impact of everthing we do. We have a policy to drive towards carbon neutrality through a planned CO2 reduction and carbon-offset credits with further initiatives to improve our environmental footprint by the reduction in waste and energy usage.

Marketplace Leadership

We run our business in a way that marks us out as a world-class provider of services and a preferred partner to do business with. Our aim is to develop long-term, mutually beneficial relationships.

Workplace

At Connected, we are committed to offering our staff and partners a rewarding and challenging workplace. We want to become the best company to work for and strive to provide facilities, programmes and support to reach that goal.

Community

We work hard to be good corporate citizens, we work to support the sustainability of both global and the local communities in which we operate and actively encourage our employees, staff and suppliers to consider the needs of others and involve them selves in public service.

The highest standards of Corporate Governance and Health & Safety, underpin everything we do.
