We are TEN years old

We have grown significantly since our launch but even after all this time we still feel full of verve (and ideas). And we remain as committed as ever to never rest on our laurels. In researching the significance of the number ten - if you have had any dealings with us you will know we love research - we have found out some things that you may or may not know. This is certainly true from our perspective. So here's one you will hopefully know; humans have ten fingers and ten toes. You possibly knew this, and of course it makes sense, counting on fingers led to the decimal number system. Linked to this, all scientific notations are given in powers of ten. Oh and a shape with ten sides...final answer?....a dodecahedron, well done! And how many bottles were hanging on the wall? Yep, well done to those of a certain age, there were ten!

This I am sure will be divisive, as is the game itself, but the number 10 is the number shirt given to creative football playmakers including Pele, Messi, Maradonna, Platini and our very own contemporary hotshot Jude Bellingham - a person who can play in most positions - a bit like a few notable members of our wonderful team and certainly our creative agency The District.

There are ten commandments, go on see if you can name them! Then tick the ones that you live by?! When launching a rocket or similar space based vehicle we count down from ten. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 BLAST OFF! We try to avoid politics as a general rule but an obvious choice is the place where the good, bad and downright ugly decisions that govern our country are made - Ten Downing Street. Anyway, let's get a bit of a party mood back, hang on, oops. We all love a bit of Saturday evening razamataz and joy and occasionally we get a ten. Has anyone ever got a sweep of tens from all judges?

That just leaves our favourite number 10 which is the Pythagorean symbol of perfection or completeness. We are humble enough to acknowledge that we aren't perfect, or complete, but we can promise you this is what we strive for, and will do for the next decade to come.
