Having done a few piece of work now for Glue Marketing I thought it would be appropriate to ask for some formal work experience. I gave Ollie an email and he said there should be no problem and would recommend it but it would obviously be decided by Jon, after speaking to him he assured me he would be delighted but because of the projects thay are working on at the minute it would be best to keep them secret for the minute.
But Jon said he would be delighted for me to come down and visit their branch at The Grid in Bradford to do some work there. So I jumped at the chance and it really paid off, starting the morning early at 6:00 to be there extra early for work, boy was I tired later on.
The Grid is a centre for small businesses around the local area whom are in need of a small space of which they can setup their businesses with offices and facilities readily available at small cost. The businesses greatly vary and so their provides and excellent environment for discussion and socialising. I was introduced to a variety of people all of whom were really nice and enthusiastic about me being there which was lovely and everyone seemed right on my level.
Because I was coming on specially today as well Jon had put up a post on the Grid forum [Above] to say that I was coming in and would be offering my design services. As soon as I came in I was offered some work to do more of which i will talk about soon but for the minute I had my own desk and served homemade ginger biscuits with tea thats to Ollie. I have to mention as well how damn smart I actually looked for work, yeah I even showed Ollie up.
