31st August Guest Writer Jayne Finlay


So as second season nears upon us, we prepare to say goodbye to August, crazy sports days and river cleans and head into the busy month of September.

Last week we had a great week cleaning up rivers in Antrim, hosting a bbq for local businesses and competing against Abacus Recruitment for the coveted Sports Day trophy - ok so it wasn't exactly the "triathlon" Barry had in mind when he first set out with this idea but I think I can safely say fun was had by all as we substituted swimming for badminton, running for rounders and cycling for indoor hockey. Who won? Legal-Island of course! We feel a rematch coming on!!

As for the this week, with some staff members wisely using their annual leave before the silly season starts again we are preparing ourselves for what we hope will be a busy few weeks of bookings and conferences.

Barry is off to Syria on his holidays for 2 weeks leaving Jayne to mind the fort.

Jayne will be working hard on the submission for EFQM NI Quality Mark while marketing will be preparing mailshots for ROI.

We have our newest member of staff coming in to meet with Donna today. Sharon Simpson is our new Office Cleaner/ Housekeeper for the Training Centre and we look forward to welcoming her on board the Island.

Carecall are coming in to see us today to explain about the launch of EAP within Legal-Island. This is an exciting new project which gives all staff the opportunity to meet one to one with a coach/ counsellor to keep us calm and stress free during the coming months.

Let's hope we're all still standing at September kicks off....
