After a pleasant two years located in the quiet picturesque fishing village of Kolymbari, some opportunities arose that were just too good to refuse!
After discovering two adjoining offices on the main street in the large town of Kissamos (which are now being joined into one big office), it was decided to expand the business worth, workload capacity and reputation by forming an O.E. company (similar to a UK LLP) with Minas Kontopirakis - a local Kissamos builder of good repute, with whom we had already been working informally for the last year.
In addition to our English/Greek reception and sales staff, we have employed an English husband/wife team to handle project design and supervision.
We have also upgraded our webcam to transmit live images every 20 seconds, together with live weather. We have moved it temporarily to recharge your dreams, to a location with views of the Gulf of Kissamos. A permanent location with panoramic views is being made ready at one of our restoration projects, and the webcam should be moved there within the next two months.
The plan is to open our new offices on March 26 - so keep your fingers crossed that all goes well - even if in true Greek tradition, the offices smell of new paint and furniture is still being assembled on opening day!
