Microgaming is marking the first anniversary of its Isle of Man headquarters with the burial of a time capsule.
John Coleman, the Chief Executive Officer at Microgaming, celebrated the milestone together with staff at the software giant’s Isle of Man campus on Wednesday, 1st August 2018 by placing a time capsule below the entrance to the building.
The capsule, which is to be opened in 30 years, contains special mementos arranged from suggestions by staff in order to commemorate important events for the company. The capsule has been vacuum sealed and treated carefully so as to prevent the items tarnishing with the metal capsule including a range of photographs spotlighting highlights of the company, such as staff volunteer days, awards and the first group photo taken at the new offices when the building opened in July of last year. It also includes a PlayItForward volunteer’s shirt in honor of the company’s CSR initiative and a number of local and international articles from the past year, including Sixty Two being named in a list of “The 10 Coolest Offices of 2017”, which was published in the Telegraph.
The second office on the island was built with staff in mind and allows for the fast expansion of Microgaming and Derivco Isle of Man. The 5-story office currently houses more than 300 employees, growing from 231 since opening in 2017.
Coleman, commented that it is incredibly important for them to mark their first year at Sixty Two. He added that this time capsule captures a snapshot of their first campus, their staff and the amazing culture they have fostered here on the Isle of Man for future generations to look back on.
