Sorry for the delay...

If only there were 28 hours in a day!
Awards - that's what I was going to tell you about...

A great night was had for Business School alumni at the 5 Counties Business Awards held at the Celtic Manor on the 24th. NBS are proud sponsors of the Entrepreneur of the year award and this year (because I was at another dinner!) Jackie Harris awarded one of the most deserved EoY awards.
This year we celebrated the work and achievements of Peter Lewis of IAC. Peter has been a post grad student of mine on several occasions and a successful one at that ( MBA, MA Marketing, CIM) - not bad for an engineer!!
He is also one of the most modest people I know and one that truly believes in investing in the skills and education of himself and his people. A very kind man who behind the scenes does all sorts of good things for the City of Newport. Well done Peter.

Then last week I was asked to MC an annual dinner that IAC host. I was able to announce that IAC had also won Wales Exporter of the year and Company of the year...brilliant for IAC, Peter and the team and brilliant for the City!

We were also delighted to note that NBS alumni: Adam Price (SEO Sitebuilder) and Paul Gray (Furniture Finders) were also shortlisted for the EoY award.

I have failed to find a photo of the event thus far - but as soon as I have one I'll post it.
