title SwiftKey's Ten Year Anniversary Reunion, Selwyn College, Cambridge - 11th January 2019 intro SwiftKey had been founded in Ben's shed in 2008, before eventually moving to the Oasis Centre on Kennington Road in North Lambeth in 2011. After that, the company moved to Linton House on Union Street in Southwark, followed by a short move up the road to Southwark Bridge Road. In 2016, after a few years, it was bought by Microsoft and was then shifted miles away to the wilderness of Paddington. During that time, upwards of 170 staff had come, gone or are still there, and so it was a good opportunity to get some of them back together on the event of the ten year anniversary, held at Selwyn College in Cambridge. Nosher gets an early start by hot-desking at Microsoft Research for the day, which being near the railway station is only a 10 minute taxi ride to the base for the night - the Premier Inn on Newmarket Road. imgc2931 The "brain" on the wall at Microsoft Cambridge imgc2932 Nosher's "hot desk" at Microsoft Research imgc2933 The grand piano is actually being played imgc2934 The MSR piano was a gift from a head of research imgp7534 Past and present SwiftKeyers fill the room imgp7537 The two Alexes in conversation imgp7545 Paul chats whilst Ryan looks surprised imgp7553 David and Richard imgp7562 Anita grabs a passing canapé imgp7564 Adrian looks animated imgp7573 Co-founder Jon reads a speech imgp7580 A toast to ten years of SwiftKey imgp7581 The dinner gong is loudly sounded loudly imgp7583 Selwyn College's dining hall imgp7585 Jon takes a spot on the top table imgp7588 SwiftKey files in for dinner imgp7598 Dom and Alex imgp7619 A full dining room imgp7626 Nacho has a laff imgp7631 Ben talks to one of the original investors imgp7637 Some serious gurning occurs imgp7645 There's a sort-of open-mic session imgp7649 Ben kicks off the anecdote sessions imgp7656 Neil MacD takes a selfie imgp7676 Ruth after a speech imgp7680 Anita does an anecdote imgp7688 The room waves imgp7693 Dominic and Alex imgp7698 The reunion moves into the Students' Union bar imgp7699 In the Selwyn Colege bar imgp7706 Selwyn College Court imgp7712 Alex and Adam imgp7716 More conversation in an over-crowded bar imgp7719 The marble dude has the room back to himself imgp7721 Outside the union bar imgp7726 Wei hangs around imgp7727 The sign for the reunion
