Welcome to the OFAS <strong>Spring</strong> Journal<br />
Welcome to this special 30th anniversary journal edition, where we continue<br />
to celebrate the companies’ significant 30 year milestone. As part of the<br />
continued enhancements to OFAS and the services we provide, rebranding<br />
was a key element that we wanted to address. We hope you agree that the<br />
new colour scheme is stylish, modern and inviting.<br />
Within this edition, you will find a copy of the first OFAS newsletter that was<br />
published in 1996. This first edition provides some interesting reading. Maybe<br />
you will recognise some of the companies that are no longer with us or one<br />
of the products that were released in 1996! It is also a reminder to us, how far<br />
OFAS has progressed since that first release. We are very proud!<br />
Clerkenwell Design Week <strong>2017</strong> is nearly upon us, where again we have the<br />
pleasure of being media partners. This year we have been welcomed into the<br />
Dauphin Human Design showroom in the heart of Clerkenwell. Come and<br />
visit where you can explore the range of Dauphin Human Design products.<br />
OFAS publications will be made available to all visitors and it would be<br />
wonderful to catch up with existing members and those that would like to<br />
find out a little more about OFAS.<br />
