NATURES COLOURS - LUCKY FOR ME? Beautiful flowers taken on my early morning walk/run on one of the hottest days of the year on Thursday 25.06.20 - the UK had a weather warning!! 🌞🌞🌞 Following this I was presenting a marketing review / pitch via Zoom for new business I'd been working on since the previous week. This was the first official pitch I'd done over Zoom and the first set of video slides I'd produced purely for a pitch. It was a full marketing review of the business's website, socials and organic traffic with recommendations on organic and paid activity moving forwards. I like to think the flowers brought me luck because I secured the business 🌹🌻🌷🌼 #socialmedia #digitalmarketing #newbusiness #flowersphotography #goodvibes #goodnews (at Samwalldigitalmcr) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB-01ZBnhTY/?igshid=r2ydsdy73px3

DIGITAL LEADERS DINNER - MANCHESTER ART GALLERY Massive thank you to Heather Gray at @bruntwood #BruntwoodWorks for the personal invitation in early March. 💥 HONOURED TO BE RECOGNISED AS A LEADER IN MANCHESTER'S DIGITAL & TECH SCENE 💥 Incredibly humbled to be with the likes of Naomi Timperley, the CEO of TEDx Manchester, Kirsty Devlin Katie Gallagher of Manchester Digital, local and global VC's, ex pro footballers and many others who are leading the way on the Manchester tech / digital scene. Andy Wood president of Cubic Motion gave a fabulous speech and our hosts at Manchester Art Gallery did a phenominal job with the food, service and organisation. Such a stunning venue.. since my phone is damaged and no longer takes good pictures I know these photos dont do the gallery any justice. Excellent that I bumped into some familiar faces (Michael Livingstone CEO of DustiD, some truly talented, trailblazing Mcr tech startups were there who have recently become good friends)!! An incredible night 💕 Thank you Heather, thank you Bruntwood Works 😍 #manchester #tech #digital #leaders #DCF2020 #digitalcityfestival (at Manchester Art Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-e_e16HGQ8/?igshid=105wzt3dpip7i

THE FAMOUS CURRY CLUB LANDED IN NW MANCHESTER I was so grateful to be at the packed launch of Guide Security's Curry Club, a business networking event which normally takes place in North Manchester. 😎😎😎 Thank you to Lateef Badat and Bipin Patel; it was amazing to meet so many incredible people. Great to see you again, my brilliant friend Janine Mitchell. The eventful North West launch took place at the famous and truly spectacular Vermilion Restaurant #manchester on Mon 9th March 2020. Bipin Patel and the team ensured that this event was absolutely "knocked out of the ballpark" for the 70+ quality businesses that attended. The decedent Mocktails upon arrival, sumptuous food, an incredible schedule of inspirational business influencers discussing relevant and "hot" topics within business and our local and wider communities. Vermillion boasts a colourfully luxurious, moorishly elaborate backdrop. 🌺⚘🌻 Taking to the floor an insightful trio of insightful interviews with local, influential business leaders: Hamish Hamilton Shalni Arora and Mo Isap and all facilitated by Kenny Currie 🎤 Hamish spoke about his work with Vistage UK in supporting CEOs both one to one & in groups. ****************************** Shalni from Savannah Wisdom,🌺 an independent charitable foundation, talked about the importance of CSR and importantly emphasised that being kind in business makes good sense. ****************************** Mo Isap, a regular at MediaCity and well known across the city; Founder & CEO of IN4.0 Group, discussed the challenges and initiatives that aim to keep Northern talent in the North of the country. Mo highlighted the disparities of investment and funding between the North and South. "Greater Manchester has a GDP of 62 billion attracting global tech companies and the role of the Northern Powerhouse is crucial for local businesses to thrive and close the gap". #guidesecurity #curryclub #businessnetworking #manchester #northernpowerhouse #community #diversity #belonging #impact #growth #values #inspiration (at Vermilion) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-cHs-Jn2Dn/?igshid=1pqurdkvrlabf

** Exciting News ** Honoured I've been asked to be a Global Juror in the Global Entreps Awards, 2020. Earlier this month Joaquin V Boston contacted me directly; Joaquin is President of Entreps and International Board of Business Owners and Entrepreneurs for Sustainable Business in 126 countries. I've also been invited to be a Member of their Awards’ Chapter for the 17 #SDGs in the Global Entreps Awards in 2020. The awards cover #sustainable #businesses, the #UN's #SDG's, #AI and #digitalisation. Mariya Gabriel Commissioner for the Digital Economy and Society (European Commission) I'm told will also be one of many influential figures, again involved in 2020. Last year saw 2,000 participants and sponsorship from the European Commission, Parliament and Council, along with the collaboration of the UN and the #OECD: Nominations for 2020: Sustainable projects and initiatives are only elegible as proposed finalists, along with above and beyond achievements and/or promising results on the SDGs or Digital Industry, Circular Economy, Collaborative Economy (there's a range of the other categories). An initial project launch is planned for this October and the Awards will take place in the first semester of 2020, a date is still being finalised. My voting ability: I can vote from the list of nominees and I can propose canditates but I can't vote for anyone I know personally once they get to the final. As soon as a website link becomes available for next year I'll share it and should you be interested in your business receiving a nomination, (when the full criteria for nomination has been released, just let me know!). Keep you posted! #entreps #Awards #Global #juror #5gcitizens #EU (at Samwalldigitalmcr) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1t0t0DHbtQ/?igshid=192o3cdw0pcqe

NWL19 (NOW WHAT Live) Brad Burton's famed NWL on 31st January at Aston Villa FC. Part of a huge programme of entertainment, inspirational speakers and insightful, thought provoking moments. The highs, the soul searching, the inspired moments, this quarterly event is unique, absolutely don't go if you intend to walk away unaffected with closed eyes to the greater picture happening around you in life. NWL will rock your world (for all the right reasons)!!! Capturing a hillarious moment when these 'likely lads' were plucked from the audience to appear on stage (unbeknown to them they had been picked to appear as the line-up from the village people)!!!
