Happy birthday Jam Pan!

This edition of The Spread is very special because we’re celebrating 10 years of Jam Pan. For that reason, we wanted to use this space to celebrate and thank you all for making Jam Pan.  

As a proper birthday celebration, we asked you all what is your favourite thing about Jam Pan, and there is a common pattern in everyone’s answers: the people.  

"I like how relaxed and friendly people are in Jam-Pan and the people we deal with on a daily basis.” - Dawn 

"I’ve always loved being in Digital Learning because of the potential it has to transform how people learn and work and that nothing stays still, it’s always evolving. Now I’m surrounded by thousands of the best digital creatives delivering great change into many organisations - what’s not to love?" - Cass

“The team and the individuality everyone brings to the table – the freedom to be yourself, the safe space to share ideas and have a real impact isn’t something you find in a lot of work environments.” - Kirsty 

“I genuinely think that we are an amazing group of lovely humans.” - Gemma 

“All the team at Jam Pan, everyone is so helpful and supportive, which makes work really enjoyable.” - Philippa 

All of you who work here make this company a great place and make it possible for Jam Pan to keep growing. No matter where in the country (or the world) we're located, we collaborate to bring great projects to life. 

“I tend to have one [favourite project] a year and this can be big or small, related to projects that grow us as a business in terms of the services we provide, but mainly watching people step out of their comfort zones.  Difficult to name but one.” - David 

" I enjoyed being part of a learning landscape project as it was great to understand the client's current ecosystem and how we could support and add value. It was great to be a small part of that.” - Courtney 

“Favourite project has been Sky, it's been a big transformation and brilliant to shape the CSOD and EdCast visions. I've enjoyed being able to fully partner with a client and become part of their team as well as Jam Pan's.” - Louise 

From our own HR and CMS platforms to the Star Academies and Sky, these 10 years have seen many wonderful projects and products come to fruition. We look forward to seeing what the next 10 years will bring.

Thank you all!

 Ramadan Mubarak!

This edition of The Spread couldn't be more festive! This year the month of Ramadan will start on the 10th of March in the UK. For that reason, we are using this edition to celebrate as well the beginning of this month and sharing what it means to our Muslim clients and colleagues.

When is Ramadan 2024? Ramadan is determined by the Islamic lunar calendar, which begins with the sighting of the crescent moon. Saudi Arabia and other Muslim-majority countries rely on the testimonies of moon sighters to determine the start of the month. Learn more about this celebration in this article by Al Jazeera.
