We’ve been quietly celebrating the fact that, 25 years ago in November 1992, Johnson Banks began.
We marked the occasion by asking all of the present staff and alumni to come to a big dinner, and bar just a couple of people, the two dozen people that have made Johnson Banks what it is made it to our office in Clapham.
Twenty-odd employees in 25 years isn’t many, and is testament to the fact that most JB’ers stay for quite a while, before moving on to pastures new – whether it be their own companies, big corporate appointments, freelance life or foster parenting.
Here are a few snaps from the evening.

We also built a ‘wall’ of memories (some good, some bad) which acted as a prompt for some group reminiscing. Here are some wider shots, and some details.
A slightly surreal evening, but fun. Thanks again for 25 years, and here’s to 2042.
