Welcome to Fred and Co.
Welcome to Fred and Co. We hope that you enjoy you're stay. Please mind the gap between the donuts and the broken hard drives.
Our company aims
Random stuff collection, processing and investigating. What exactly that entails varies from day to day. Enquire within for actual details, assuming we've worked out what we're actually supposed to be doing. Please be assured that your friendly local random stuff finders at Fred and Co. are hard at work coming up with things to amuse, entertain and annoy at all times.
Our product line
Most of our findings are far too random to consider for serious study and so are posted to separate pages, such as our company blog, "Head in the Mesosphere", a delightfully eclectic mix of... errr.... stuff...
Our (relatively) serious material is (occasionally) posted to "Fred and Co. Investigate!", a scientific/mathematical/technological... errrr... wotsit... Just don't expect miracles; we can't stop TG and Fred turning everything into a joke.

Our Team
FredAdministrative Operations Manager of Fred and Co., although we reckon that's probably just a long title for being a part-time mad inventor with tendencies towards being a whiny blogger. Started the company as an attempt to find peace from "a world that's just gone horribly mental". Failed dismally.
Likes: trying to keep his ragtag crew together without losing too much sanity, experimenting with disused car parts. Dislikes: anything to do with computers that's more complicated than Inkball. |
BrendaDoesn't bother with silly company titles, I mean come on guys, we're not exactly a multinational here. Although if you have to give her a title, Personnel Efficiency Executive would do, I suppose. Chief Science Officer would be a more accurate description, but dislikes the Star Trek connotations. Spends much of the day stopping Fred from doing too much damage and making sure TG isn't doing anything that we may later need lawyers for.
Likes: settling down with a nice book/laptop/hot chocolate, and pretending not to hear that explosion that just went off in Fred's office. Dislikes: people "borrowing" her burettes and not cleaning them properly. |
Tie GuyHead of IT Interests. Presumably living under a pseudonym; gets narky when the subject is raised and mutters things about Equity and actors' names. Typically found head first in a server rack, moderating his online community of lava-bomb-surfers, watching Fred do something dangerous, or making humorous comments about donuts.
Likes: keeping Fred's crew as ragtag as possible, trying to implement Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol in anything that moves. Dislikes: Brenda removing his attempts to implement Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol in anything that moves. |
Cayley HamiltonFred and Co.'s slightly hyperactive Maths Coordinator. Discovered by Fred when searching for extra talent, although no-one really knows quite where from. Apparently born into a family of maths professors, often quoted as saying she's very glad that they didn't call her Collatz-Ulam Syracuse. Often found leaping around in circles, energy drink in one hand, calculator and whiteboard pen in the other.
Likes: glucose, skydiving, and anything brightly coloured with maths symbols on it. Dislikes: anyone saying anything is boring, people being mean about slide rules. |
