FutureGov Family Christmas Newsletter
By Carrie Bishop • Dec 21st, 2009 • Category: FeaturesWowzers. It’s been a busy year for FutureGov and we’re only just catching our breath. Not only have we done loads, but we’ve had a few changes as a company and grown in a really good way, with the chance to work with some brilliant people. Dominic and I thought we’d share some of our highlights like the cool projects we’ve been involved in, the events we’ve hosted and the thinking we’ve done. Warning: This might read a bit like one of those cheesy family news letters :s
