Sep19Blowing dogs of chains….

Down in Weymouth, for the Skandia Sail for Gold Regatta its blowing 30 knots - providing some great action on the water, viewed from the media office - where OC Vision have set up camp!

Sep13Join the E.ON 100 Day Challenge.

Ellen has been helping E.ON with the launch of their 100 day challenge, a scheme for businesses to spend 100days working at reducing the amount of energy they use.
We’ve started with the little things - do we need to have the lights on all day (we have a lot of windows!) and the printer on all night when we aren’t here? You’d be surprised how these small changes can save a lot of energy!

We’re hoping that the people who learn about these small differences at work will also take the ideas home.

You can find out more on Ellen’s personal blog http://blog.ellenmacarthur.com, or at the E.ON site http://www.eonenergy.com/ellen

Here’s some of the things Ellen has been doing herself…

“So many times, I have heard people saying ‘we know we have to do something, but what can actually be done!’ Well this project is about actually telling people that, and helping them to understand the changes that they can make, usually simple, and which often don’t have to cost a penny. I’ve started doing simple things like printing 2 pages on 1 sheet of A4, always printing on the back…. Some people say that the text is too small, but I rarely hear people complaining about the size of text in a newspaper. It not only saves paper, but you carry less around with you, you use less printer ink, it prints more quickly – just seems sensible to me!”

Aug23OC Vision Team Dinner

We are all feeling a little delicate in the office today after a team outing to a great local restaurant for dinner last night. A great time was had by all - including our respective partners who joined us for the evening.

Aug09OC Vision supports the Ellen MacArthur Trust Ball

Thank you to everyone who attended the Ellen MacArthur Trust Ball at Skandia Cowes Week. The evening was a great success – with over £78,000 raised to enable children with cancer and other serious illnesses to go sailing with the trust. It was a wonderful evening, enjoyed by OC Vision and our guests.
