&lt;div&gt;Today we held our monthly staff meeting. As usual we tucked into&amp;nbsp;the free buffet&amp;nbsp;provided and&amp;nbsp;were introduced to the new joiners.&amp;nbsp;However the rest of the meeting was&amp;nbsp;spent&amp;nbsp;brainstorming about where&amp;nbsp;everyone&amp;nbsp;thinks&amp;nbsp;Mando Group&amp;nbsp;could be in 10 years&amp;nbsp;time.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Some of the ideas were fairly standard, though you have to admit challenging. But some ideas were really inspirational. It was fantastic to get a broad picture of each person's vision and as always the sum was greater than the parts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The thoughts in no particular order were:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

- Working for high profile global brands&lt;br/&gt;
- Annual revenue in excess of &amp;pound;8M in current day terms&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;- An element of what we do will be something that today is unheard of&lt;br/&gt;
