Jubilant July

Wayne

The British Summer is in full swing. The office windows are open and the fans are on full blast as it remains about 25 degrees indoors, but it looks like a monsoon outside!

Saffron User Conference

I started the month assisting with the Saffron User Conference, an annual event hosted by our client FD Hospitality showcasing upcoming software features to their existing customers. Our good friend Greg Moore was on hand to record the Conference and shoot photos throughout the day, and as I type this he’s on with creating a number of videos from the collected footage. These videos will be used to promote the software and market their website in the coming months. It was a hugely successful event and everyone was in high spirits, especially at the evening event where guests got stuck into craft beer and stone-baked pizza – name a better duo!

The Realistic Business Consortium

I attended The Realistic Business Consortium for the first time in July. I’m not much of a networker, I believe that business should come naturally through building relationships, I don’t believe in forced referrals and bringing visitors in order to gain ‘points’. The RBC is a refreshing change to networking. It’s a forum to meet other business owners and share challenges and help others. You contribute by sharing your experiences with those who are going through similar challenges to what you may have faced yourself. The people behind The RBC are great to work with and have a lot of experience to share, so I look forward to returning in August.

‘Summer’ Days

We had the Twilo ’Summer’ outing in July. We went to Pontefract Racecourse and as is usually the case when the races are on, it tipped it down all day! We started our evening in the Bluebell in town and enjoyed some fresh pizza – I ate a lot of pizza in July! I was lucky enough to have a winner on the first race but nothing at all after that!
