Season's greetings 2011
Season's greetings to all our clients, colleagues and peers from the ViaStrada team. We hope you enjoy a relaxing holiday. Our office closed on Friday 23 December and reopened on Wednesday 4 January. The move to our new location hasn't happened yet, as there's some damage to fix first. We'll advise on the new move date through our website, and we'll then be on Level 1, 284 Kilmore Street, Christchurch.
We wish everybody a safe, happy and prosperous 2012.
