The fact that as you get older the time flies by quicker is definitely true.. I can’t believe it’s March already and worse, that I turn 30 in five days time.
The main reason why time has been flying by (apart from age) is that 2010 has been a very exciting year so far for us all. We have started working with some great new projects such as the Emmanuel Schools Foundation on their Annual Conference taking place on the 1st April at the Sage Gateshead. The event is for all the 800 staff of the colleges and academies to celebrate the past 20 years of success and to look to the future.
We’re also getting close to the Symposium on Economic Development in the North East of England, a three day conference in Manchester that we are organising on behalf of The Northern Way. The event will see leading academics and policy thinkers flying in from Europe and America to take part in a strategic analysis of the underlying structural economic issues facing the North of England. As well as the two day Symposium, there is a dinner, a tour of regeneration sites in Salford and a drinks reception to organise.
Following the Symposium and the ESF conference, we have a few days to catch our breath and it’s on to the Class Awards, the biggest awards ceremony in the region with over 1400 guests. Exciting news that we have just confirmed Kate Thornton as the compere and we are all looking forward to working with her to make the night a continuing great success.
We are also concentrating our efforts on boom! The North East Engineering Show which is taking place in July but work is well underway. We have confirmed Robert Llewellyn from Scrapheap Challenge and Red Dwarf as the presenter who will bring his enthusiastic approach to engineering to the show – hopefully Kryton will also make an appearance! We have also confirmed Hondas involvement with their robot ASIMO and Nissan are on board with their electric cars. The hunt is on for more engineering companies to take part in the show and also fill the metro radio arena with exciting exhibits.
Finally, on a personal note, it’s been a great year so far for me as I have just been promoted to Marketing Director. It’s a really exciting opportunity and I’m looking forward to getting stuck into my new role, especially with the rest of this year looking like it’s going to be a lot of fun.
If you want to know any more about any of our projects or are interested in seeing what we can do for you, please give us a call.
