News coverage over the last few months for Burtt-Jones & Brewer has been a bit like buses… you wait for one to rock up, then seven come along all at once.

There’s some super interesting articles to have a nose through, we hope you glean some useful nuggets and feel a little bit more informed about the workplace during and after this pandemic.
Before and during lockdown, we wanted to learn more about the impact of Covid-19 on each organisation that we work with and how it varied.

We take a moment to pause and ask, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, is this perhaps going to be the largest home working experiment ever conducted? Perhaps we didn’t expect it to arrive like this, but here it is. We are facing difficult times, and are rightly concerned for ourselves, our loved ones and our communities. We explore the impacts virus could have on ‘working life’ as we currently know it.
We are facing uncertain times, and we hope that you, your colleagues and families are safe and remain well. As the situation develops, we’d like to let you know about the measures we have in place to protect our staff, clients and communities, and to secure the continued provision of our design services to you.

But what happens when you’re an artist and life throws you a curve ball that rocks your brain and your creativity to the very core. Our artist of the month, Italian painter and photographer Elisa Madeo Pitt shares her story and beautiful mixed media paintings that not only are an incredible form of therapy for herself, but for those that enjoy them. We hope you love them as much as we do.
To coincide with our love of coffee, Burt-Jones & Brewer have recently launched a series of ‘Insight Coffee Mornings’, where over a cuppa, we aim to share and debate the wonders and often mysterious ‘world of the workplace’. If we were to liken the workplace to a cup of coffee, every design decision should enhance, inspire, spark and enable high performing workers in order to get the best out of every single bean.
