It's been a while since our last gazette and we are pretty sure you missed our 'hello there people!' Can we get a 'Hello' back from our devoted readers? 😉 For this special edition, we will do things differently but worry not, you will find the usual and less usual sections.
We would like to seize this opportunity to thanks everyone who has responded to our survey (we were hoping for more responses though 😢)
SURVEY RESULTS
As you all know, two weeks ago, we undertook a survey to gather your views about our Gazette. It’s now time to reveal the highlights of the survey.
Thank you very much to our 81 respondents - some have made us go 😲 while others have made us 😊
Much to our surprise (yes, we must admit it here that we weren’t really expecting this), the 3 most read sections are: Leavers & Newcomers (awwwww, it’s always nice to know who the new colleagues are, isn’t it? 😊), technical news and gatherings (we are guessing you do want to keep tab on what the team is up to in terms of fun 😊)
Peopleeeee, stay tuned as the fun quotient is going to get a notch up with the amazing theme ideas we’ve got 😊
PS: The gazette is for YOU people so we are calling out to everyone to send pictures for team buildings, get together, tea time, lunch time and the list is long. You can also send us articles, slams, poems and a small write up on what you are passionate about. 😄

HAPPENINGS
Dress code policy
We noticed some happy faces in the office since the beginning of the week. Indeed, our colleagues have well adopted the new dress code policy put in place for the Imperium Group (as per attached document).
Perigeum Capital has officially moved office!
If you follow Perigeum Capital on LinkedIn (pretty sure you do, if not, hurry up and go follow the page 😉), you would have seen that they officially moved their office to the ground floor of the building.
For the occasion, they filmed the whole process so have a look at it.
The Budget Night 2023 was full of surprises! ITL, Andersen and Perigeum Capital have mobilized their teams to stay up all night for the release for the Budget Brief.
Accompanied by a briani and some snacks, our teams were all set to work. This was also an opportunity to get to know other people 😉
A special thanks to Andersen team who have provided the delicious briani and the snacks which helped us listened to the whole budget without starving... 😃 Those who stayed for the Budget Night know that the briani is a must and most awaited moment of the night.
