There's something wrong with Ronnies Blackberry...

 You may have seen the short preview of this skit recently for the BBC's One Ronnie. If you haven't yet seen it the full version is worth a look. Clever.

 

The team here would like to thank you, our international talent and client community for collaborating with us for another great year in 2011. This year the MitchelLake Group grew 100% in headcount, opened an office in London and launched two new brands in executive search - Lake Republic and onsite services - Lake Managed Recruitment

 

Our partners have also had another great year. Innovation Bay Angel dinners continue to be hugely successful. One big story being Spreets who pitched at the first Angel dinner last year and were acquired by Yahoo this year (less than 12 months later) for a rumoured $40 Million. Startmate first graduate ventures saw rapid success. Congratulations to the Startmate team and their first program graduates including the team at Grabble who made an exit to Walmart digital in very quick time.
