Our desks have changed massively over the past 12 months - we've both gone from working from home sometimes, to working from home all the time and we've seen this evolve quite a bit.

On this episode we talk about the journey our home working environments have gone from and to, the reasons why we've made the changes and the benefits we realised from the investments.
