The Vox team Anna Mann, editor mannal@halcrow.com Chris Warmoll, deputy editor warmollcj@halcrow.com Emilie Dadswell, designer dadswelle@halcrow.com Editorial Haidee Harrison harrisonha@halcrow.com Bryony Ulyett ulyettb@halcrow.com Eloise Young youngel@halcrow.com Distribution Garry Whitaker whitakerga@halcrow.com Vox is designed and produced by Halcrow’s corporate communications team and K4 Creative. Printed by Rumbold Holland on Revive 50:50 Silk recycled paper, it contains 50 per cent recovered waste and 50 per cent virgin fibre. It is manufactured at a mill accredited with the ISO 14001 environmental management standard. Editor’s comment Welcome to the first edition of Vox, Halcrow’s re-invigorated successor to Connections. Meaning ‘voice’ in Latin, Vox is your place to champion successes and achievements. It’s the forum for business groups, regions and management teams to share their vision and future direction for the company. It’s our collective voice to talk to each other, our clients and our stakeholders. Vox builds on the solid foundations laid by Connections and remains the pre-eminent place to read about the company and your colleagues’ achievements – whether professional, personal, academic or sporting. The fresh layout and improved graphics cater to individual reading styles. So if you’re a ‘skimmer’, nuggets of easily digestible information will leap from every page. And if you’ve always enjoyed immersing yourself from cover to cover, the engaging graphics will add another visual dimension to your reading experience. The editorial team hopes you enjoy the new look and feel of Vox and continue to send in your articles and photos. Read, reflect, share and digest. This is your magazine, your forum and your voice. Enjoy. Anna Mann – editor The pulp used in this product is bleached using an elemental chlorine-free process. This material is recyclable.
