There’s never a dull moment at Rocket HQ.

Last Friday we ran our very first ‘Well Fun Party’ election. With a new Fun Minister and his deputy at the helm, fun and wellbeing at Propellernet is going next level.

A perfect way to end the week, the rocketeers gathered around the soap box to hear candidates make known their manifestos and pitch their promises, with claps of support and jeers of disdain, they listened intently to seek out the best team for the job.

Minds made up, everyone took to pen and paper and casted their vote- all of which were then counted by independent adjudicator Karen Smithson, who is also our Fun and Wellbeing Co-ordinator!

By lunchtime, the Well Fun Party had started their term in office and were busy planning their next steps and eying up the budget already in the pot. They call themselves yin and yang. One will focus on fun, one on wellbeing. Stefan’s thinking courses, community stuff and cultural immersions around Brighton;  Rik’s going more for beachside barbeques, Brighton rides and the occasional boozy bar!

Generally, we’re all thinking about our PSR (personal social responsibility), local and wider community and how much fun, creativity and inspiration we can get our hands on for our pennies. And yes, we’ve put our people in charge of the budget – an unusual move in businessville but we like it!

We’re excited to see what’s next. For now, the World Cup’s on, the sweepstake has been drawn and the glass partitions are proving very useful.
