Buying an apartment

If you’re thinking about buying an apartment in the new year, we have put together 10 questions to help with the process. If at all possible, you should ask to view the apartment with the apartment owner. If you are shown around by the letting agent, they will know very little about the apartment. If […]

Revolution Ethos

Ethos is the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its attitudes. At Revolution, we often speak of our ethos, and to make sure that we never forget it we have it written on our walls. If you ever come to the Revolution office, have a read. Our ethos has always […]

Mobile Phone Signal

We have just taken over a very old building with no mobile phone signal inside for any network. This is due to the thickness of the walls. It got us thinking this can’t be the only building like this, so we’ve written a simple guide to help those with connectivity issues for their phones. Do […]

White Rose and Aegis Trust

Did you know, it is estimated in the UK that there is around £30 billion pounds worth of unused clothes just sat in people’s wardrobes and each year we send £140 million worth of clothing to the landfill? Did you also know that all of the new clothing your household purchases in a year amounts […]

Neighbours
