We decided it was time to strip things bare and start again, the Viva IT website has had a facelift! Our brand new site is now up and ready for viewing, and we couldn’t be any more excited about it.

After PHPNW, we were extremely excited for the PHP East Midlands Un-conference 2014 as it was closer to home. As strong advocates for expanding the PHP community in Leicestershire and the East Midlands, it was a great opportunity for us to spread the word and get more people who live locally, to get involved with the world of PHP and the tech-community.

I started working for Viva IT about a month ago, as part of my apprenticeship scheme with 3AAA Leicester, studying Social Media and Digital Marketing. This is my first full-time job since finishing my A-Levels in the Summer.

It’s now been a month since I started working for Viva IT as part of my IT apprenticeship with 3AAA Leicester. I’ve learnt a lot, and this is a little insight in to what I’ve been doing since I started.

We were lucky enough this year to be able to sponsor the Launch48 event in Leicester this year. It was a perfect opportunity to be with pre-startup businesses to provide mentoring and assist in their development.

The PHP North-West Conference 2014 was certainly one of the biggest things we have been looking forward to, here at Viva IT. We waited patiently for months, and then, in the last few weeks things seemed to fly by quicker than we’d anticipated.

In recent days we’ve been very busy with some projects for our major clients, but it hasn’t all been about work.

This year we are joining RS Components in sponsoring the Launch48 even being held in Leicester. We feel that the technology community in Leicester is something that should be nurtured and encouraged to grow.
