DECC website is live

Working with COI, S8080 have just launched a website for the DECC, headed up by Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change.

The Department of Energy and Climate Change was created in October 2008, bringing together energy policy (previously with BERR – the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform) with climate change mitigation policy (previously with Defra – the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs).

We face unprecedented challenges to our environment, our economy, and the future security of our energy supplies – and the decisions we make now will affect the planet and our way of life for generations to come.

DECC exists to tackle these challenges. Our creation reflects the fact that climate change and energy policies are inextricably linked – two thirds of our emissions come from the energy we use. Decisions in one field cannot be made without considering the impacts in the other.

The short turnaround project was completed using S8080’s content management system. Matt Howard, S8080’s Technical Director said “The project had a short lead time, but working with COI and a very reactive client meant the project ran very smoothly”.

London Snow

Post-It-Note Yesterday, we had a 9.30am pitch at COI, just across the river from Westminster (I’m sure they do it to test our mettle – but hey, we’re up for it).

The travel chaos was pretty evident with constant warnings coming across the train’s tannoy. “Turn back, turn back, it’s carnage…”

London was beautiful when we arrived at 8.30am. The tubes (Bakerloo at least) was ‘as usual’ for rush hour and we arrived with time to spare.

What a lot of fuss.

Pitch went well BTW and thanks to everyone who managed to make it.
