Monday 21st June - Guest Writer Kerry

In Retrospect

A great week last week for Legal-Island who lifted the highly commended award in all three of the categories entered into at the Irish News Awards on Thursday evening. The pictures above show us proudly taking The Best Place to Work, the Managing Talent and the Innovative Employer awards at the gala dinner held at the Ramada. A monumental well done to the writing team who toiled over the submissions and a huge thank you to our distinguished guests who came along on the evening to support us.

We have also completed our 'Charity Memory Challenge' on a high last week raising a total of £228 for our two designated charities - Brainwaves NI and NI Alzheimer's Society. What started off reasonably slowly turned into a highly competitive and fun eight weeks of coming in early, staying late and giving up some lunch time in order to stay ahead of the opposition. I now see many members of the team in a very different competitive light! Again a wonderful effort by all for two great charities.

Looking ahead

Barry, our MD is in meetings all of Monday. On Tuesdays he's in Dublin and on Thursday of this week he's meeting Brian Grimshaw and Olga Pollock from Consilium Technologies. Saturday's his big day though. Thats when he takes on all comers in the Beat the Director competition. Hope he's remembered to train!

Ainsley is hosting the first meeting of the Antrim Marketing Forum which will take place at 9.30am on Wednesday in our Training Centre. If you or anyone you know in the local area would like to attend this event or any future meetings please contact Ainsley directly at ainsley@legal-island.com

On Thursday he will be attending an FSB event titled 'Growing your business through networking'

Scott will be coaching on Monday, meeting Bank of England Agent, Frances Hill, on Thursday; and this Friday will be attending a seminar on the importance for Northern Ireland of the GB Equality Act.

Events

Thats almost all of our season one events complete with the exception of our third and final Section 75 seminar here in Antrim on 1st July. Information on all our second season events will be on the company website from the end of this month.

Another beautiful day...here's to many more meetings this summer sitting out at our picnic area.
