Although 2011 has been a difficult year for a lot of businesses, we have found the last few months to be far more positive and during this time we have acquired new clients and some really interesting large projects. Happily, then, we are going into the new year in a position of strength and feeling very positive.
Despite it being a difficult year, we have enjoyed some interesting and challenging work, not least the very successful deployment of a system to manage additional staff during times of peak activity and extreme weather for Heathrow Airport. Whilst this might not sound particularly complex, a quick read of the case study on our website will highlight some of the complexity of the project.
Anyone running a business will be acutely aware that the economy is still bumping along and I don't think we have yet seen any clear signs of recovery. However, I'm pleased not only that Meantime continues to go from strength to strength but also to see so many of our clients still enjoying success against such a difficult economic backdrop.
I hope you all have a chance to relax over Christmas and the new year and I wish everyone a very successful 2012.
