It must have come out to greet our new member of staff, Kerri McCosker (seen pictured with her ‘welcome’ bottle of wine and card) we’re such a nice bunch of folks!  Kerri is our Chief Executives PA and will be busy keeping him organised and ensuring that he’s in the right place at the right time. 

Our Training Centre is hosting the Public Health Agency today and Wednesday, let’s hope they make good use of the outdoor seating area during lunch.  It’s a real suntrap out there so ‘factor 50’ should make sure they don’t burn.

Our CEO, Barry Phillips, has a busy week ahead. Today he's meeting John Friel of the Federation of Small Businesses. On Tuesday he has a meeting with his new PA, Kerri.
