Merry Christmas Everyone

Already 2013 is drawing to a close as Christmas descends on the Zipporah offices.  Despite is being Christmas Eve we are still beavering away on making sure everything is ready for the New Year chase as everyone gets back to work.  That is until I finally say stop the cavalry and we all join our families and take a well earned break (for a day or two at least).

I'll talk about the year gone by in the traditional look back at 2013 next week.  Today I want to concentrate on making it warm this winter as we step into Christmas, taking a moment away from the mistletoe and wine to celebrate our team.  

It has been a year of change at Zipporah and during the course of this year and as we enter the next this will be a continuing theme as we restructure to become a stringer organisation to deliver better service.  Unfortunately this means you lose a few people along the way but its often forgotten to congratulate those who are getting behind such change.  All of the teams at Zipporah have worked like the little drummer boy over this year and have consistently supported the drive to do better and have pulled with us our efforts to achieve more.  Never afraid to stay another hour or stay another day they have worked long and hard to meet the demands of our client base.  Nobody gets everything right but nobody could do more in trying and for that reason I would wish all of the team a wonderful christmastime.

I have been constantly enthralled by the innovation that the technical team have shown this year with some fantastic innovations as we have developed the Neo systems.  Even more enthralling is the reaction I get to see from the clients when they look at what they have available to them as a tool.  I'm convinced that if a spaceman came travelling he would look at our work as the most cutting edge in our field.

I'll also take the opportunity to say Merry Christmas to Emma, without whom the day to day business would not operate so well.

It is at Christmas that you think about what you have and how fortunate you are and I feel very fortunate indeed.  I sometimes feel like I'm walking in the air as I think about the fantastic clients, colleagues, partners and friends that Zipporah has.  This really is the most wonderful time of the year and if Santa Clause is coming to town then he could just bring me some more team members like those I have and things won't go far wrong.

To everyone that has been involved with Zipporah in meeting and exceeding our expectations this year I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and as I'm driving home for Christmas this evening I will sing a song for all of you.

See you next week.

P.s.  I've managed to put a lot of song titles from popular Christmas Singles in this blog.  Did you get them all?
