Inspire Labs - Updates from Inspire Digital at IPC MediaSo Ladley decided to leave us. Boo! He’s a bit of a greedy guy that one; someone with a finger in almost every pie. From starting out as the Team Leader of the Southbank division he eventually ended up in the greatness that is Inspire. After nearly three years at IPC he heads for pastures [...]

Last Wednesday we said goodbye our best member-of-the-team-who-is-french, monsieur Fabien Grenier. Booo! Fabien has been a part of the team for over two years and, foolishly, he believes someone can offer him more love than that of Team Inspire. This summer, he will be will be heading back to the homeland to get himself married. Even [...]
