Stroll on Pep and Jose ...the Best Team in Manchester

Multi stop visit – to Construction Week and HVAC show at NEC – not that busy tbh…

Then pick route to meet up with Team Manchester – for a Chinese Buffet and a catchup-chat – before they’re off for an afternoon servicing right in the City Centre. Team seem buoyant – pleased with the reputation they’re building – I know I am!

Then to Education Estates – and conversations with our friends from CBRE amongst others

and a stop into the Apprenticeship Show : we believe we offer at least the equivalent of a formal apprenticeship – but our industry simply doesn’t have the numbers to fit the government’s much vaunted Trailblazer schemes.

Not a political point but not sure that makes any sense at all – particularly in the context where will both pay a levy – and fully fund the training…

GET IN – BUT ONLY SO FAR …

Hey ho – what did I imagine was meant by Investing in People??

Talking of which, re-assessment imminent…I do think one of the very best things we do – checking that we are trying to tick all the best practice boxes. We will find out in November if any unticked boxes slipped through…
