“James Bond, the Queen and Mr Bean,” were just some of the names being mentioned around the office this morning, after what was an unforgettable opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympics. Danny Boyle’s production certainly set a high standard for the next couple of weeks; with Team GB gaining their first medals in cycling and swimming, we are hoping for some gold’s to roll in now.

Meanwhile, back on the ‘The Island’ we have our own celebration with Scott’s birthday. Unfortunately he is not here to celebrate with us, but we will keep him some cake.

In 2011 Legal-Island carried out an environmental and a biodiversity audit in partnership with Business in the Community. The audits revealed a number of areas where Legal-Island could make savings in relation to waste reduction inside and outside the organisation. Please see the news item on our website for further details.

Season 2 is moving along nicely in both NI and ROI, with lots of work going into this year’s Annual Reviews. This week’s movements are as follows:

Barry
Our CEO has an easy week ahead by his standards. Today, he has internal meetings pretty much all day. Tomorrow he's out of the office networking. On Wednesday he has a Senior Team meeting whilst on Thursday and Friday he's busy in our R&D department. Sunday and he's off to the Olympics again. Lucky him!

Jayne

Performance Reviews will take up most of Jayne’s week. She has a ST meeting on Wednesday and her final Common Purpose day is on Thursday at the City Hall.

Ainsley
Ainsley is starting the Management and Leadership Development Programme on Friday with John McKee from Linkubator, which will run for the next four Fridays. Apart from that he’s here all week.
