A decade of original design - thanks Jim!

After many, many years as Allen’s friend and colleague, Jim has racked up more than a decade at Origin. Jim Collins gives his top 10 highlights. Of course there have been many more but these were what came to mind on first prompting…

1. Using an Electric train down the garden moving office furniture to the current premises.
2. Initial viewing of foundations of Initial office.
3. Building of meeting room and 2nd office space and spreading next door.
4. Taking over the end unit and developing the workshop.
5. Arrival and installation of Origin’s first prototype machine (FDM).
6. Arrival and moving CNC machine....twice.
7. First tentative steps into Europe (Lyon), start of things to come.
8. Crazy Origin 10 year birthday celebration - in a camper van, go-karting, golfing and bowling plus a ‘few’ beers.
9. Celebrating record year with a fantastic Christmas in Edinburgh.
10. And after all that of…the general social side of mixing with a group of like minded people - bbq's, garden parties, golf, bikes, beer and laugh.
    

Mix in some exciting projects and interesting work – being at Origin makes for the perfect job. Here’s to the future.
