It's smiles all round for the team at Blue NRG this Monday morning as we settle into our new offices in Melbourne CBD. There's much activity, box unpacking, IT hiccups, but mostly smooth sailing and much positivity.

Pain, blisters, 30 degree heat, thunder, lightning, torrential rain. The team at Liquid Melbourne endured all mother nature could throw at them and finished their 100km walk after a gruelling 33 hours over the weekend. Congratulations to the team who faced down what they say is "by far the toughest physical and mental challenge ever". Blue NRG was proud to sponsor Liquid and contribute to fundraising for Oxfam that assists people living in poverty by promoting education, ensuring access to clean water, teaching skills to grow food and fighting for basic rights.

Our team at Blue NRG is preparing for the upcoming move from the lovely (but somewhat boring!) eastern suburbs office to our new location in Melbourne’s CBD. We’re excited by the prospect of working in the heart of our wonderful city and looking forward to an open plan office which will improve communication and teamwork and, ultimately, the service we provide our customers.
