This weekend we celebrate 5 years of The Alchemist. Around this time five years ago I decided to start the company. There were lots of options when I quit my old employer, but I really wanted to give this a go. It’s been hard sometimes, but it’s been relatively good. The small company that started in a house in Karori, is now, in a proper, purpose-divided office. We have a front gallery and things are looking bright.

I want to thank all my previous colleagues, who are, for different reasons away or don’t work with us anymore.

Chronologically they are:

Neal Sandbrook
Tony Anderson
Antony Brown*
Hannah Ngai
Victoria Kay*
Michael  Mudge
Anoushka Isaac
Michael Wilson
Jonathon Toon*

I also want to say thanks to Paul Chapman, Sarah Brueckner, Alison Quodling, Paul Ballard and Tobias Eschment.

Happy Birthday.
