Taptu Moves Offices: Crossing Milton Road, Cambridge - 19th February 2007
Nosher's new employer, the tech start-up Taptu, moves from St. John's Innovation Centre on Cowley Road in Cambridge, to offices on the Science Park, not too far from previous employers Qualcomm Cambridge. The move was just as well, as there seem to be about twenty of us stuffed in to a single office at the old site, so we've finally got a bit of room to stretch out. It also involves moving the world's longest whiteboard across the busy Milton Road, where Steve Ives, the CEO, lends a hand in true start-up style. Steve Ives also kicked off 3G Lab, which became Trigenix, which became Qualcomm Cambridge. The new company, whilst a start-up, consists mostly of former 3G Lab and some more-recent co-employees - it's the first time Nosher has worked for a new company where almost everyone is already known.

Bob's still on the phone. Marc sticks his tongue out
Debs, our part-time accountant, sticks her head out
Celia and Michelle talk about the move
The old office in St. John's Innovation Centre
A look down the corridor
Nick does some last-minute coding
Steve does some talking
Matt starts packing up
It's cardboard-box city in the office
St. John's Innovation Centre
St. John's main door
Debs in the old 'kitchen'
Hani and Nick do some packing
Nick and Marc exit with some monitors
Matt arrives with a car full of stuff
Marc sets up his new home
Our big new, empty, office
Steve strides around the new office
In St. John's, the whiteboard's journey commences
Marc, Jake and a reflected Steve on Cowley Road
Marc and Jake pause before crossing Milton Road
An Abbey Road-esque scene as we cross Milton Road
We cross into the Science Park
The whiteboard makes it to the Science Park roundabout
In front of the new office
The whiteboard makes it to its final destination
Stef wanders around
The food is started
There are some 'new office' snacks
The new team gather around for lunchtime nibbles
Marc says something a bit suggestive
The new office
In Taptu's new kitchen
It's straight to work with some Taptu UE prototypes
