Company News

2012 has been another fantastic year for Search Laboratory. Our continued growth has seen us expand into a second Leeds based office as we continue to recruit highly skilled new team members. After everyone’s continued hard work throughout the year, it was finally time for us to let our hair down at the company Christmas Party…

The Mansion House in Roundhay Park played host to our party last Friday 7th December. Due to the beautiful style of the venue our party organiser decided to create a Masquerade Black Tie theme for the evening. There were some interesting interpretations of this theme and some fabulous masks and colours worn. Here are some photos from the evenings festivities:

Unbeknownst to any of the staff, the senior management had been having secret dance lessons to learn the ‘Gangnam style’ dance that was to be included in a fun round-up video of 2012. It went down a storm as everyone erupted into fits of laughter. We were even more privileged to see a live version performed on the night too…

It’s party time!

Wow! What a tremendous effort from Masako Knowles (Multilingual SEO Researcher) on her outfit for the ball.

Everyone was mesmerised by the surprise harpist that played during the welcome drinks. There was a close-up magician and an official photographer all milling around throughout the evening, just to add that extra sparkle to the event.

The tables were full, the conversation was flowing and everyone had a great night. We can’t wait for next years party…

Thanks to Alison for organising the party. It was a fantastic night!

On behalf of Search Laboratory we would like to take this opportunity to wish all our clients, partners and friends a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
