Chris has been busy this week after jetting off to Amsterdam; he’s been recording interviews at the Sheraton Hotel, Schipol for our upcoming Global Tax Symposium being held in Prague.

Next month Stuart will be attending an IOSH course; IOSH stands for the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health. It is a three-day course that will cover working safely and managing safely. Working safely is aimed at all employees; this will cover the essentials of health and safety in the workplace. Managing safely, which is aimed at managers, supervisors and team leaders, will give them the skills and knowledge to manage health and safety within teams.

After a short rest period, we’re preparing ourselves for a busy November! We have three overlapping jobs that all kick off on the same day! We’ll be working simultaneously in Prague, Nice and London; they should really test our limits!

We’ve taken the quieter part of the year to sit down and think about how we can expand our array of equipment; after getting rid of our older Mac we invested in a brand new 15” MacBook Pro.

It’s that time again. Our yearly Portable Appliance Test, or PAT test, was carried out yesterday. The PAT test ensures none of our equipment may be dangerous to work with, and it is all inside the health and safety guidelines.

Since July of 2017 we’ve been working very hard on a programme that has been tried and tested throughout the duration of this, and last year. Cypher Media’s POD, or Programmable Onsite Display, is a real-time timetable system used for creating and managing event schedules. 

After a jam-packed few months with jobs in Rome, Madrid, Charlotte, Paris, Prague and London, we've now got some time in the office to prepare for jobs later on in the year. 

From one to the next! We’re currently finishing up a Global FS Tax Leaders event in Paris whilst simultaneously preparing for a Future of Work Conference in Madrid!

Over the course of this week we’ve been busy preparing our kit for a Financial Services Conference being held in Paris, and a Future of Work Conference that will take place shortly after in Madrid.

We only had a small room, with no windows, so we had to be clever about how we set up our shot. We used one of our Dedolights and gobo projector attachment to create a window blind shadow on the wall behind the subject. Coupled with our easily portable LED lights, this created a studio like environment in the small space.

We’ve treated our self to some new kit at the Cypher Media office! The Zhiyun Crane Handheld Gimbal has been added to our arsenal of equipment.

After a successful International Tax & Legal conference in Prague, we jetted off to Madrid shortly after for a small two-day shoot at the Melia Castilla, Madrid.
