The name ‘barking’

Written lovingly by Jake Stride

We get quite a few emails about why the blog is called barking so I thought I’d right write a quick post as to why.

As many of you will know, Archie is our office dog and he comes in every day to keep everyone company. Technically he is ‘Head of Morale and Security’ although he would soon sooner lick you to death than get aggressive!

Unfortunately the story is no more interesting than we needed a name for the blog and thought barking seemed like a good a name as any - we did think it would be nice to name it after Archie but thought that didn’t fit quite as well as barking - so there you are.

You never know, we may one day get a guest post from him; the best you will get for the moment though is some pictures of him enjoying himself on a recent trip to Cornwall.

    I think it’s a great name – we’re converting some barns, one of these has a few brown long eared bats using it in the summer as a feeding roost. We’ve managed to get a licence to ensure we can do the work safely without the bats being there, but Natural England wanted to see how we could ensure in the future people were aware of the bats. So, we’ve called it ‘The Bat Barn’

    Who are we to comment about barking?
