Note from Founders


Hello everyone,

It is with a sad heart that we write this entry. The earthquake and tsunami that rocked Japan on Friday and that caused - and continues to cause - death and destruction on an immense scale has caused a gloom to descend over WAYN HQ. Events such as this always put one’s life into perspective - indeed it makes daily hurdles at work seem trivial.

On behalf of the whole WAYN team, we want to express our sincere condolences to the people of Japan and indeed any WAYN members who may have been affected by this tragedy. We’re sure we speak for the whole WAYN community when we say that our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan during this trying time.

Jerome, Peter and Mike
