Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a nice refreshing break over Christmas ✨
To welcome in the new year, we thought we’d take a moment to reintroduce ourselves, and share what we’re all about! 👋
So, who are Ghyston?
Well, according to ChatGPT:

Paying a Visit to Our Ghyston Statue! 💚
If you’ve wandered through Temple Meads lately, you might have spotted the brand-new Bristol Giants statue featuring Gorum and our very own Ghyston! Naturally, we couldn’t resist a photo opp!
We’re thrilled - and honestly a bit flattered - that they’ve practically built a statue in our honour. How thoughtful is that?! 🤣
For those who don’t know, our name Ghyston comes from the mythological giants of Bristol folklore...
Goram and Ghyston (or Vincent) are brothers credited with shaping the local landscape, specifically the Avon Gorge. They competed for the love of a giantess, Avona, by attempting to drain a lake, with the industrious Ghyston creating the Avon Gorge, while the lazy Goram fell asleep!
Do you think we could convince them to let this statue move into our office...?
