IP Wealth Taking over Level 6 of the Seabank Building..?

Yes that's right, we are expanding the IP Wealth empire to make way for our new patents practice and training events... plus we like the idea of a larger boardroom overlooking the Gold Coast Broadwater.

The Office Expansion was announced in late March 2008 - and preparations are now underway for the unveiling of our new sanctuary.

After the impressive interior decorating job our Director of First Impressions, Shanny Matterson, completed for our Business Development Division, we are looking forward to the unveiling of the new and improved IP Wealth Headquarters.

Watch this space for new developments on our progress. We hope to see you soon for a coffee in our new boardroom!

EVENTS
End of Month French Fare - Absynthe, Surfers Paradise

March was a great month for IP Wealth, many goals and achievements were realised, and all in all it was about time the whole team and partners got together to wine, dine and socialise out of the office.

So what better place to do so - Absynthe Restaurant, underneath the Q1 in Surfers Paradise. See www.absynthe.com.au. Absynthe has quickly became one of the 'it' restaurants on the Gold Coast for exceptional French cuisine, and has a fantastic reputation Australia wide as a top eatery.

Great food, fantastic company and superb wines to complement, we all had a fantastic evening - indulgence and decadence sums the night up well. Our degustation menu of 7 courses, and 6 complementing wines ensured a very interesting and entertaining evening indeed.

Well done IP Wealth for all of your combined effort and hard work for the first quarter of 2008 - we are looking forward to many more entertaining events!

IP WEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY
IP Wealth Gives Blood
Posted: 15/02/2008

The entire team here at IP Wealth saved 9 lives on the 15th of February at the Red Cross Blood Bank here in Southport.

It was a first time for many of us, but we all bravely ventured of the office, on a courtesy bus to our destination with the aim of giving as much of the "family" blood as we could.

Thanks to Danielle for organising this occasion, we hope to do it every quarter and save many more lives.
