25th February - Guest Writer Jayne Finlay

Good day one and all from a sunny if not slightly chilly Antrim and the team at Legal-Island.

It's the final week in February and where has the year gone already?? Hard to believe we are stepping into Spring in the not too distant future.

As ever the team are busy on various ventures this week.

First up, the Training Centre are hosting Schrader – Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Our Ceo, Barry, has a busy enough week. Today he has internal meetings more or less all day. Tomorrow evening he’s attending a business lecture at Queen’s University. On Wednesday he’s meeting Neasa Hunter about ISO work. On Thursday he’s speaking at Strathearn School to business pupils. On Friday he’s working on an R&D project.

Heather and a number of the team including Debbie, Peter G and Pamela will be heading to Dublin tomorrow afternoon in preparation for the HR Symposium this week in the Radisson Golden Lane. Heather recently attended an Irish Language Class and has been coming back with lots of lovely pronunciation for us - best wee saying for the week isDoras feasa fiaraĆ­’ - translation "the door of knowledge is to ask". Let's hope the delegates find the door of knowledge open at the Radisson Golden Lane. 

Also in attendance at the HR Symposium and taking on role of Chair for the day is Scott.

Allison will be in the office all week finalising details of the HR Directory.

Vanessa and Donna are meeting with George Wilson from CforC re the “role model” status for customer service.

As for me, I'm in meetings most of today, this evening I go to the MLA Networking event with the Institute of Directors (IoD) Young Directors' Forum. Tomorrow evening I'm joining Barry at QUB lecture. Wednesday I'm meeting Linda from the Iod to discuss the Annual Lunch. Thursday I'm working on Investors in People all day with the goal of getting a team set up and in place within the month.

Most importantly (some might argue!) though this week is the ongoing Battle of Boys v Girls on the Island. Head Judge Debbie Wilson will be assessing the 2 teams on their Hula Hoop skills in a Hula Hoop competition in the next round of Boys v Girls tomorrow. Come on the Girls!!!!
