Tynedale Progress

Mark Reed, one of the newest Enterprise Facilitators, has just published this piece on our forum:

Hi, just a quick note to say hello to all the forum readers from our facilitation project in Tynedale. For those of you that don't know, Tynedale is situated in the north of England, and it is such a great place that the Scots have been trying to invade and conquer us for hundreds of years. Hadrian had a problem with this so he built a wall between us and our Scots cousins. These days we manage to coexist (mostly) peacefully and Hadrian's wall has become one of our biggest attractions.

We have been running our project since July and are starting to see results for the clients we are working with. One of them, Chris, is running his business from Hexham but has a clientele across the globe. He has been quite successful in getting press cover and you can read about his business using the following link.

We just had our third board meeting and are starting to get a feel for the process. We all realise that we have a long way to go but the momentum we have now built up is tangible.

Feel free to get in touch and pass on your stories of success, failure, laughter and tears, in all aspects of your roles and experience.

My favourite quote this month comes from Banksy, my favourite vandal " A lot of people never use their initiative, because no-one told them to."

Mark.
Glad to see it is going well Mark. Thanks for the post!
