You don't have to be thin to work here...

... but it sure as hell helps.

We're bursting at the seams here at Alphabet Towers, with the recuitment of four more girls and boys to the Alphabet family. Aside from strengthening the boy's football team, and supporting the growth of some of our new business units - this means that it is beginning to get a little cramped. I may have to cut down on the doughnuts in order to ensure I can squeeze in behind my desk...

Shut up fatso and tell us who's joining, I hear you ask.

Alice Kok starts with us as a journalist, joining myself, John, Jianggan and Amelia as we prepare for the exciting relaunch of PSTM under its new guise - FutureGov - as well as to help spread the workload in the run-up to the overhaul of our web sites (mid-June, I'm guessing). She cites French existentialist literature and body modification as interests.

Patrick Schulze joins us as our new Marketing Director, having overseen niche high-value marketing campaigns for the finance industry in Europe. As a champion of social media, he fits in nicely with Alphabet's community-driven approach to publishing, training, research and events. And he has a beard, something the company has been lacking up until now.

Ling Oh joins us to work on our training programmes initially, though we plan to migrate her to selling high-value research once that part of the business goes live later this year. I'm pleased as punch that she's an ex-Turtle, as there are way too many alumni from ICPCQCP here these days.

Last but not least we have Amos Hong who joins Dawn and Melissa as our new Conference Producer. This is a key role as we start ramping up for our annual FutureGov Summit, which is being held this year in Bali. Amos has been persuaded to ditch a life in rock and roll to throw in his lot with the cool cats at Alphabet. However he's still available on a freelance basis for children's parties - if you're interested you can contact him here: amos.hong@alphabet-media.com
