In our spare time [ha!] we’ve teamed up with a pretty cool advertising agency on a not-for-profit (yet) side project that lets you share your spare desk with interesting individuals who might need it.

Hot on the heals of the launch of the Premier Sports Group website comes the launch of of its sister site, PSG Trophies.
