Profit Hunter Freddie Bennett, and The Sober Exec Chris Anthony both spoke openly to James and Mark on what you consume impacts how successful you can be in business. They reflect on both their personal and professional experiences with the impacts of the corporate party culture and how it can be combated for the better of profits, and our mental health.
Ahead of the festive season, this is a great insight into the full value these guests have to offer team leaders in spotting signs of issues both within their team and themselves.
Connect-Ed 2014 will be focused on business , and will create a great opportunity for teachers, career advisors and support staff to engage and connect with business leaders based in Norfolk.
Promoting Knowledge and Careers
The main theme that runs throughout the day is “Getting Connect-Ed”, a real chance for those working with young people every day to get an insight into business, careers, and how business employers recruit.
Connect-Ed is about just that, getting connected. Developing young people, and providing opportunities for them to progress into the world of work, needs a network of people working together, informed about how the other operates day-to-day. Connect-Ed is about bringing those people together and sharing that knowledge.
The day will consist of a combination of presentations and interactive sessions. We would look to group those attending into small focus groups made up of teachers, careers staff, training providers and employers. Each focus group would contain 8-12 members with at least a half of the group made up of attending employers and encourage the sharing of knowledge, ideas, and career opportunities within the sector.
We will be attending the popular Autumn Fair again this year with our new look stand and hundreds of great products on display! We invite customers new, old and potential to come down and say hello to our friendly and helpful wholesale team!

Offshore Decommissioning Event, in association with DECC & Decom North Sea
If Well Plug and Abandonment along with reducing costs and collaboration is high on your company’s agenda then you cannot afford to miss this unique opportunity to hear about what can be done to make this happen.
EEEGR, in partnership with DECC and Decom North Sea, is delighted to be holding an event that will provide companies the chance to hear from Operators and Tier 1 Supply chain companies on the importance of finding ways to reduce the ever increasing cost of Offshore Decommissioning.
A number of Operators have confirmed their attendance at the event, including ConocoPhillips, Tullow Oil PLC, Shell & Centrica. Contractors attending will include; Helix, Bibby Offshore, Schlumberger, Seajacks and OIS Ltd.
The challenge of reducing costs is a major objective for the UK Oil and Gas sector for both Industry and Government. It is a very complex area with a large scope of work and the best way to approach such a challenge is to break it down into specific key areas.
For this event the main focus will be on Well Plug and Abandonment and with approximately 500 wells in the Southern North Sea, which could potentially be decommissioned in the next 5 years, there is a real opportunity for collaborative working between companies.
Decommissioning costs reduction and collaboration are both action areas in Sir Ian Wood’s UKCS Maximising Recovery Report and this event is an important starting point to show how companies can work together for the benefit of the Oil and Gas Industry.
The agenda for the event is shown below. Following the presentations there will be an important one to one engagement session, which will provide an excellent opportunity to engage directly with the main purchasers.
