Atlas has all of their ducks in a row

Recently an expectant duck decided that the garden at Atlas’ Head Office in Nantwich would be the ideal place to build a nest. The pleasant garden surroundings attracts different types of wildlife all year round, but we rarely receive a visit from ducks. With the high walls protecting her from wind, traffic and most predators, and the pond conveniently available for a quick dip; the Atlas team adopted her and she became affectionately known as 'Jemima'.


Jemima made her nest in a quiet corner just outside the techies office and not too long later she was incubating some eggs. One colleague reported that they heard the duck quack “have you tried turning it off and on again” as a consequence of sitting within earshot of the technical helpdesk team. The Atlas team spoilt her with bread several times throughout the day. On Monday afternoon we were delighted to spot that all eight of Jemima's eggs had successfully hatched. Jemima was particularly protective over the ducklings in the first few hours but now she is frequently seen going for a waddle with her babies all following not far behind in a nice neat row.
