Welcome to another busy week on The Island. We are holding two events in our Training Centre this week - a seminar on Redundancy on Wednesday which sold out a number of weeks ago and a repeat of the Customer Service course that we ran successfully for the first time last September.

As far as the activities of our staff go - when have we ever let the grass grow under our feet?!

Barry has 5 days of intensive networking ahead of him this week beginning today with meetings with David Gaston, Noel Brady of NB1 and Peter McBride CEO of Niamh. On Tuesday he's meeting Brian Speers of CMG Solicitors in the morning, Dave Vincent of KDS and then David Brittain of the DOENI. On Wednesday he's meeting Melanie Donnelly from Full Circle. On Thursday he's in London attending a seminar delivered by the Entrepreneurs' Business Academy. On Friday he's hoping to have a meeting with Squire Sanders Hammonds before heading off to the Royal Opera House to see the operat they're all talking about at the moment "Nicole". Lucky pup!


Scott will be meeting with Tom Evans and Alan Scott from DEL this week and also Karen Thompson from the Belfast Telegraph along with Peter. Scott is also going to be helping out at the Customer First event on Thursday.

Jayne is attending a Management and Leadership Conference at the University of Ulster on Wednesday with Heather and Ainsley. She is back at Ballycraigy Primary School on Thursday taking a hockey lesson. On Friday she is attending the SOCITM event at the Park Avenue in Belfast - this is an event we are co-sponsoring with Noel Brady and CIPFA.

Peter and Ainsley will also be volunteering at Ballycraigy this week, coaching the football team.
