Outfit New Digs Bermudian Style
 Moving to Bermuda — or embarking on a new venture here — creates an exciting opportunity to craft a new environment. More than 10,000 offshore companies call Bermuda home, with 300 of them present physically.
When choosing new vendors, the selection can be daunting, but rest assured that the right resource exists locally, from setting up office space to filling it with expert employees. Here we present our favourite suppliers to help you get down to business in Bermuda:
Architecture and Design. Clients who want to achieve a true Bermudian feel for their spaces — eyebrows over doors, elegant moongates, fishtail chimney caps — often turn to OBM International, a firm that specialises in commercial and resort design. (Woodbourne Hall, Gorham Road, Hamilton, 295-5137, www.obmi.com)
Audiovisual. When the honchos fly in for the Big Meeting, it is no time to take chances with audiovisual systems.

(26 Harvey Road, Paget, 236-3885, www.electronicservices.bm)

Golf Outing. Getting onto the links is an effective way to blur that pesky line between business and pleasure. Our favourite fairways are found at Riddell's Bay, with stunning sea views and a venerable clubhouse. The course is relatively short and not overly difficult - all the merrier for colleagues of diverse skills. Up to 200 can share a meal in the clubhouse. (Warwick, 238-1060, www.riddellsbay.com)
Graphic Design. You never get a second chance to make a good first impression, so make sure your corporate ID programme says all the right things.
