Subject: Time travel anyone? ended up in the 90s.

Helloooooo thereeee People!

Who fancies the 90s as much as we do? A time where there was no social media but the fun was amazing! 🤭

We are pretty sure some of our colleagues - fans of social media - will not be keen to follow us. 😂 It would be nice to get the 90s vibes though, right? Well, let's not go back there for a whole decade but we can embrace the vibes for a night...😎

Special Friday night...Game night...Good Food..and Happyyyyy Hour. 😜 What do you say? Will you follow us? 😎 Stay tuned for next Friday's Fun!

We are sure a lot of our colleagues were born in the 90s or some spent the best time of their lives in this decade. Did you know that the retro 90s style is actually coming back? 🤔 Who spotted the oversized jackets and the baggy jeans back on the street? 🧥 👖
