So the website is up and running in what\u2019s a very interesting week.
\nFirst up, we kicked off the start of the DMH Stallard study into the way manufacturers value and protect IP. It kicked off with a really interesting interview with some surprising conclusions. We will be continuing the process during January with some further interviews aiming to publish in the Spring.
\nSecondly, some work with the Manufacturing Advisory Service on workplace optimisation and space reduction- back on the shop floor again!
\nThirdly, a seminar in London to herald the launch of the DCMS Strategy to encourage philanthropy. It\u2019s interesting to note that most giving is made by those without a lot of cash to spare.
\nFinally I had the pleasure to Chair the first meeting of the new Surrey Branch of IoD. We have some tough challenges ahead but the spirit and ambition in the room was palpable \u2013 a great start!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
