2010 has been full of highs for James Good Limited, with our continued development and the marking of many major milestones.

Our team has been significantly strengthened with the addition of three new team members (pictured below); Rob - Web Developer, Andy - Graphic Designer, and Tori - Marketing & Client Account Manager.

We added eighteen new clients to the client list, smashing our previous record of eleven. This month alone we waded through our busiest period ever, with 90 jobs in progress.

Despite the economic downturn, James Good Limited also experienced a modest 25% increase in turnover which resulted in an increase in profitability in excess of 300%. Although this sounds fantastic, the reality is that we've now just written off losses incurred in previous years from clients that went bump! Ouch!

We've invested heavily in our operational infrastructure with lots of new shiny Apple kit and the implementation of major servers both locally and in 'the cloud'. In order to protect both ourselves and our clients, we've implemented a backup system that is so robust it suggests we may have issues, and a web server that offers clients everything they don't know they'll ever need!

This year we were delighted to win the Cardiff Design Festival's Best Brand Design Award for our work with Seren Books, and our Presentation Skills identity was published in LogoLounge's Master Library Series of books. James also proudly became a member of the Chartered Institute of Directors.

Finally, we're ending the year knowing that we'll be moving into a brand spanking new, sparkly design studio in the first quarter of 2011. We're fortunate enough to have found our new home and are now in the process of designing our ideal work-space - an opportunity of a lifetime for a team of creatives. We're planning to have a coffee bar and lounge so we hope you'll all visit frequently! We'll hopefully detail our plans in the next edition of 'Good Stuff'.

Thanks to everyone who helped make 2010 absolutely fantastic. We're hoping 2011 will be just as exciting.
