Awards

So CIDA won the Examiner's 2009 Creative Business Award - what a terrific pleasure that is as we come to the end of our first ten years! (Well, the birthday is actually on 18 January but it's as near as makes no difference!)

I don't want to write about those ten years just yet - but I do want to record our instinctive reaction to this event.

We thought of the hundreds of people who have worked with us in a wide range of capacities over the ten years and acknowledge our debt to them - we've always tried to keep the core of CIDA small so that we are able to commission a wide range of creative practitioners to go out and share their knowledge and skills with others. Some have worked with us from the beginning, some are only just starting with us, but all bring a talent, a commitment, an intellectual curiosity that prompts engagement and innovation, and a joy in their work that infuses their relationship with our clients.

They are as much part of who and what CIDA is as the rest of us - and we are profoundly grateful to them all!
