Last week the @evolutednm team took some time out for a full company away day.

We decided we wanted to tackle one of the most important but least discussed topics in business, ....Finance 💰💰💰

We believe in giving our teams ownership over their work and the company. 👇

Our @Evoluted_Banger bonnet has been installed in pride place at the office today. Thank you again to all those who sponsored us, @BangersCashUK raised a lot of money for a very good cause.

Happy two-year Evoluted anniversary to @nickyfurness95! 🥳

Think I might have broken my personal best for meeting hours today - 7 hours with a 40-minute gap for lunch. 🏆🏆🏆

I can at least say they were all productive meetings!

[Sam Biggins @_sambiggins]

James is 11 hours in to a 24 hour live-stream to raise money for @Evoluted_Banger and @RoundaboutSheff spur him along with your donations! https://t.co/lDsn8PxXtI

@AmberCarnegie_ @evolutednm Can't believe I forgot to put the notebooks and pens in the picture.
Welcome to pop in and get some more to spread the Evoluted message 😊

Been doing a clean out of the storage room and found some of @evolutednm's merch from across the years.
Evoluted air-fresheners to brighten your day ✅
Limited edition artwork of our office ✅
Evoluted bank notes to... 🤔

Was great to see everyone!
As a hybrid team, monthly events like this are extremely important to give the team time together which isn't focused on work.

Last week saw our big Evoluted summer social! 💙

We held a BBQ buffet for our team and their partners at Sheffield's @the_mowbray 😋

A huge thank you to our Social & Events Committee for organising!

Nothing gets your heart pumping like an FTP deploy, has been a couple of years since I have had to do that!

[Sam Biggins @_sambiggins]

@JoeRushton1 Is definitely a good tool for quickly building SPAs without all the pain of state management etc.

[Sam Biggins @_sambiggins]

If you are in Bakewell on Sunday, come say hi to the team! Their car will be painted live through-out the day!

I enjoyed watching this being filmed this morning, @willbarron is pulling out all the stops!

[Evoluted | Certified B Corp™ @evolutednm]

We're thrilled to be taking part in this year's @BangersCashUK rally challenge, which will see our @Evoluted_Banger team Will, Rebeca & James drive from Sheffield to Munich to raise vital funds for @RoundaboutSheff! 💙

Our team have picked up their 'banger' - and it's a beauty!

The best analogy I have found is to get someone to imagine going to bed for 8 hours but setting an alarm clock for every 20 minutes, in theory, you have had almost 8 hours' worth of time to sleep but you don't feel rested because it takes you 15 minutes to fall asleep each time.

Flow is a developer's superpower, when we get into it everything else drops away, time flies and the problem at hand is our only focus.

What's your best hack for getting into a flow state?

[Sam Biggins @_sambiggins]

I find it a hard concept to explain to those who haven't experienced it and even harder to explain why interruptions are so disruptive.
