Today is usually fun Friday for everyone at Gadgets tower, the office is normally buzzing with gossip about what we’ll be doing at the weekend. Everyone dresses down, the biscuits are brought out and its naughty food for all at lunch time.

However this Friday doesn’t quite have that same buzz, as you’ll read in tomorrow’s official post, this weekend is the anniversary of the death of one of our directors, Jules Nicholson. To be honest I can’t believe it’s been a year, it only seems like yesterday that Jules was in the office full of excitement over the latest gadgets to arrive at his desk. He had a passion for gadgets which was infectious and everyone loved to see what bizarre items he had found next.

Although I’ve only worked for Gadgets for a couple of years I’d known Jules as a friend for many years, back from the early days when Gadgets was just starting up. In fact it’s Jules I have to thank for working for Gadgets as it was him that approached me and offered me my position, I said yes and the rest as they say is history.

Knowing Jules he wouldn’t want to us be sad on this day so to celebrate in true Jules style, the office is full of sweets, the chocolate fountain is flowing, fizzy pop is on tap and we’ve even managed to find a Darth Vader Duck to join us! (You need to have worked for Gadgets to understand the duck quote.)

Rest in peace Jules, I know you’ll be in a happier place now.
