Dianthus is 10 years old!

Dianthus Medical Limited first started in May 1999, which means that this week we've been celebrating our 10th birthday.

To that end, we all went out for a day of eating, drinking, and generally making merry on Wednesday. We started with an excellent lunch at the Oxo tower, then a bit of sightseeing with a "flight" on the London Eye and a river cruise, and after a light dinner at Browns, we finished off the day by going to see La Clique at the Hippodrome.

I've been very lucky to find such an excellent team who have helped me make Dianthus Medical a success for the last 10 years, and this seemed like a good way to say "thank you" for all their hard work.

It also felt rather good to claim the whole thing on expenses, although doubtless our accountant will tell me that large chunks of it were not tax deductible. Sadly, unlike some, we have to stay within the rules on such matters.
