I had to find somewhere to work between appoints today and chose the coffee shop at Morrisons- not the cafe but the coffee shop at the entrance. One bonus was USB charging sockets – my phone needed charging.

With one of the Octagon team living in Chesterfield the Clumber Park Hotel is becoming a regular meeting place. It has a comfortable area to sit, meet and work, wifi (essential for us), good coffee (probably even more essential!) and friendly, helpful staff.
After Alex and I had finished, we walked down to the lake through Clumber Park. I asked at the reception and the hotel was more than happy for us to leave our cars in their car park for an extra hour or so.

I have come away this weekend as Octagon has a number of weekend projects scheduled over the coming weeks; but I also have some presentations to work on. So for today this is my office.
Not only does remote working mean that our team can work from home, or client sites, or from the local wifi cafe. But especially for Diana and myself we can access our systems and information whilst we are away on holiday.
On my agenda today:
Whilst remote working to keep everything charged I have a USB charge plug in my MX-5 that supplies both 1A, for my phone and iPod and 2.1A for my iPad.
When the phone is in this bracket it is easy to use it as a personal hotspot so my wifi enabled devices can get on the Internet, this saves multiple SIM card costs.
Add to these my collection of tech gadgets, cables, brackets and chargers, a multi-coloured pen and a hard cover A5 notebook and I have everything with me to work away from home.
