We're feeling our age a bit at Cedrec Towers, but celebrating the fact that we're 18 years old today!
Back on 24 May 1994, Grunge was becoming less in vogue and we were staring to smarten ourselves up. Deconstruction was out, and sophistication was in. Everyone was eagerly awaiting the release of Beverly Hills Cop 3, Manchester United had the Number 1 single with Come On You Reds and nobody could quite understand how M People pipped Pulp to the Mercury Music Prize, but we were all relieved that they beat Take That.
That fateful Tuesday also saw the death of psychologist and psychoanalyst Erik Erikson, renowned for his theory on the psychosocial development of human beings and most famous for coining the phrase "identity crisis." We held a candlelight vigil for Poison singer Bret Michaels, who was involved in a serious car crash after he passed out behind the wheel while driving his Ferrari.
However more significantly, Cedrec Environmental was born in a tiny office in the centre of Sunderland. Offering summaries of legislation. For England and Wales. On floppy disk.
Fast forward 18 years and things have moved on considerably. A Full Text CD version followed, along with legislation for Scotland and Northern Ireland. We expanded to cover health and safety and most recently to an online system. Our ethos has always remained the same - we make legislation simple.
Of course, if you've been with us from the start you'll already know this and how we've kept you up-to-date with the above and all other major changes. Stick with us for the next 18 years, we're still hoping for the Control of Hoverboards Regulations...
