The TDL team grew again this month- Ryan joined the ranks as a junior designer! Having graduated with a BA in Graphic Communication from Reading University earlier this year, he is keen to put his design knowledge to good use. Thrown in the deep end, Ryan’s first day was a TDL BiaD workshop, which he spent working on the new starter’s guide and creating some fun space-themed posters.

TDL-London hosted the second business in a day workshop at the head office (soon-to-be Studio) in Richmond. The day focused on developing the TDL brand identity and planning a scalable expansion of the company. It was an action-packed session, with each team member having a different task set every hour and much more group work incorporated than in the last workshop. Good thing the team had a tasty lunch provided by The Alberts Deli to keep them going (brownies count as brain food, right?)
Dave has been working hard creating bid diagrams and other design elements for the Central Bedfordshire bid, worth a huge £140m. The deal was closed towards the end of this month.

Craig and Ryan were pitted against each other in the first ever TDL speed test. The aim of the activity was to understand how quickly we can format a document. They were both “plugged in” and not allowed to talk to the rest of the team until the task was completed- ruthless!
The team has recently discovered the amazing-ness of 02 priority… Free coffees, discounted pizza and £1 lunch deals, we’re just annoyed that we didn’t use it sooner!
