Huge Armagh Eye 'super-wheel' to be installed on Mall
Hi everyone,
Rikki with you this morning. Armagh I HQ has been undergoing some amazing changes lately. We have been fully redecorated from ceiling to floor, got our media suite built, which will allow us to put together some great video and audio for our readers and advertisers. We are in the process of changing our phone system, (we love to talk). These are amongst other changes that we are making to improve the services we provide to our readers.
This year sees Armagh I turn 10 years young! It's been a journey and we've loved every second. We are preparing for some fun around our birthday and more details on that will follow.
Some changes to the website has seen property becoming a big feature – and very popular with our readers. Of course everything we do, we do because our readers tell us this is what they want - keep telling us, it's the only way we improve.
