This Week @ GNTC – 24th May 2018

Another weekend in the sun – how lucky is that!? And for those enjoying the wedding festivities either at home or in a beer garden, here’s hoping your sunburn isn’t too bad this week! 

 

Carrying on the sunny theme, we have some fresh photos from Island Poke, a restaurant in London specialising in the traditional Hawaiian dish of Poke, a raw fish-based salad appetizer commonly served on the Islands.

We showcased a few behind-the-scenes photos last week of the North Sea Observatory and some examples of our lads using the Mustang and Pony Levelling System. We’re excited now to add an exterior shot of the work as well as some finished areas that are looking pretty good!

This month we started an in-house, monthly competition for our tilers to see who can submit the best on-the-job photograph with the grand prize being a mini-keg of beer as well as prizes for second and third places. Our criteria was pretty open, allowing our tilers to submit photos ranging from the best finished product, examples of technical skill, showcasing a specific product and the like. We had a big pool of possible winners to choose from as you can see from below…
