There is a nervous look on the faces of many at Speed at the moment. It’s not the economy, it’s not the latest sky-high client challenge, it’s not a pitch with an exceptionally obscure brief. It’s because the kids are coming to work on 10 August.

More than three months after the semi-official Brings Your Kids to Work Day, we’re doing our own. In a low-key way, possibly with crayons, definitely with cleaning products at the ready.

It seems this is a pretty rare occurance in the UK, although US companies take to it once a year with some gusto. For Speed it’s a potentially reckless experiment and may never be repeated, but we’re game.

So for one day our ranks will be swelled by a cast of extras ranging in age from junior toddler to teenager. The experience will be documented here, by the kids as well as the adults.
