At Speed, we’re having a relatively modest affair, but are taking the team out for dinner and to throw some shapes at Floridita in Soho. I, for one, think it’s really important that companies show their appreciation to staff for all their hard work over the year. There’s nothing better for staff morale and bonding.  We all let go for once, forget about work, have rambling, slurry conversations which provide some titillating gossip for the next few weeks, and end the evening by doing the moonwalk across the dancefloor.  I’m looking forward to it already.

Bring back the Christmas party.
