Just a quick post to show the contrast of diets here at do1. Since Ed discovered that there’s a drive-thru McDonalds less than a mile down the road from our new office at 1000 Lakeside he’s visited it 4 times in 4 days (over the weekend he visited it 3 times within 24 hours). At this rate it will be a homage to Super Size Me.

Whilst Ed and Kris each tuck into their greasy McNuggets, large fries, large banana milkshake and quarter pounder cheese burgers, myself and Ben whip up a culinary delight in the kitchen consisting of pitta breads, salad and salami.

We are also well on the way to building the Great Wall of Relentless. This is the power station of do1 and has helped us through some long, late sessions in the office.

We’ve gone through some big changes in the past month. Along with launching our new website, we also moved offices to the new 1000 Lakeside building in North Harbour, Portsmouth.

This huge building was originally built in the 1970’s as part of IBM’s European headquarters and boasts over 600,000 square foot of office space, of which we inhabit a small portion of this.

Surrounded by an idyllic green belt filled with wildlife and a large fishing lake to the south, you often feel removed from the city environment which in turn creates a very relaxed working environment.

Upon entering the 1000 Lakeside building you are greeted with an impressive atrium, allegedly the largest of its kind in the South of England, which holds a reception, soon-to-be cafe bar, sitting areas for informal meetings and an array of large conference rooms. You instantly recognise the quality of the £14M refurbishment carried out here by developers Highcross, as each area of this building is finished to a high standard.

do1 is based in the Regus serviced offices area, located in the East wing of 1000 Lakeside. The whole place is quickly becoming a bustling business location with a variety of different businesses from Swedish Bank, Handelsbanken to Portsmouth’s leading digital design & development agency (that’s us!), with great opportunities to network and socialise.

Moving to 1000 Lakeside has really improved the atmosphere further here at do1, and will allows us to continue to grow as a business and a brand. If you fancy popping in and joining us for a tea or coffee, just give us a shout and we’d be happy to have a chat and show you around!
