Also, a word of caution: whilst awards like ‘Most likely to go to prison’ may seem funny, the person receiving the award may not be so pleased with it. In fact, we’ve had a case in the past of a parent nearly suing a school when their child was given this award – the page had to be replaced to prevent this. If in doubt, ask a teacher what’s appropriate and what’s not, and be aware that every school has their own rules.
We’re very excited about our new information packs which should be ready to send out to prospective customers within the next couple of weeks. With them comes a hint of our new branding, as you can see from the sneaky-peaky pic below. Congratulations to the newest member of the AllYearbooks team, our senior designer Chris, for his stellar work in designing our new image.

We go to great lengths to keep our yearbook system’s website up and accessible for everyone to use all the time, day and night. An external agency monitors this for us by pinging our website every few minutes and using this data to report an ‘uptime’ (and associated ‘downtime’). So just how often does the AllYearbooks website go offline?
In November, our uptime was 99.95%. That means during the whole month, the website went offline for less than 23 minutes and stayed online for over 43,000 minutes.
Since we started tracking this data in August 2010 our website has only been down for around 3 hours. That’s just 3 hours in well over one year.
You can see the data for yourself.

To prove how fast we are here at AllYearbooks and to celebrate our continued successes, we went for a company outing to a Go Karting track here in Cambridge. Opting for the ‘Ironman’ option we spent 5 minutes warming up and qualifying before a gruelling 30 minute non-stop race.
After around 75 thoroughly exhausting laps the results were in. Congratulations go to Tom in 1st place; Jake (me!) in 2nd place and David in 3rd.

David would like to take us all climbing for our next company party, but in the meantime we’ve got lots and lots of yearbooks to make for all our lovely customers in the UK and beyond.
Fancy joining us on our next adventure? We’re always interested in finding new talent in Cambridge to join our growing team.

Wow… what a busy start to the 2011-2012 academic year! We’re now over half way into November and things are already starting to get really busy.
Our team continues to grow. We’re now up to 8 full-time permanent yearbook-gurus, and during the ultra-busy period of the year our team swells to nearer 15. Strangely, whenever we employ new people, we always manage to get a name clash. We’ve now had or have: 2 x Chris, 2 x Alex, 2 x Tom and 2 x Jam(ie|ey).
So how well are we doing? Well, last academic year we grew strongly again, creating yearbooks for over 450 different schools, colleges, universities and other groups across the UK and beyond. That’s about 50,000 yearbooks in just one year. We don’t know for sure, but we think that makes us the UK’s number one yearbook supplier now in terms of numbers, or at least very close to it.
We also think we’re the most efficient yearbook supplier, in that we have the smallest head count per customer served. This is really important, as it means we can be really competitive on price. What this doesn’t mean, however, is that your books are of a lower quality with us – we simply invest a lot of time, money and energy in improving our system so it does as much of the boring and time consuming work for us (and for you too).
So where do we go from here? Well, we want to do better still. We’re well into development now of an ultra-secret super-duper new yearbook system which we think will bring huge benefits for our customers whilst also continuing to decrease the amount of boring work we need to do per customer. This basically means you get a higher quality books, creating it in a simpler way, without the price going up. That’s a win win situation.
We hope to launch a beta version of our new system to a select number of customers at some point later in this academic year. Presuming all goes well, we’ll roll it out to all our customers in the next academic year, 2012-2013.
