It is really amazing how the internet has changed all our lives. How we buy, how we research, how we market ourselves, how we communicate. Truly a revolution in our own lifetimes.We cannot believe how quickly time has passed since we built our first "Parkhouse Evans" website. It was in 1995. Twenty one years ago.
Think about that for a moment. We have been successfully providing websites to customer for over twenty years. You'd think we'd know what we are doing by now!
So here is a list of things from 21 years ago which would have influenced our lives:
Biggest Selling UK Record: Robson and Jerome - Unchained Melody
Biggest Film of the year: Toy Story
Album of the Year: Jagged Little Pill, Alanis Morissette
Top TV Show: ER

Some seem like only yesterday whilst others seem like distant memories. One thing is constant, quality always wins...its a maxim we have lived by at PE Creative. It has served us well.

If you'd like to reminisce about any of the above, why not give us a call on 01332 291141 and we will be happy to indulge you!
I love the charm of old school traditions and how they bring a sense of memories. It's similar to building a strong foundation in education. If you're looking into something like the othm level 3 foundation diploma in health and social care service, it's a great stepping rock for those interested in pursuing a career in healthcare. It's all about spreading the groundwork for future success!
