I've worked for Emerald twice in my career, the first time back in 1994/1995 and the second time some years later.
I have to say that the first time was the best and some fond and fun memories remain with me from that time, by the time I worked there the second time the company had grown and whilst some politics etc. had set it it remained, on the whole, fun.
Hopefully this is just a temporary setback and better times may lie ahead, good look to all including AJ & MOB.
