Beva Breakfasts & Birthdays

Long standing client Beva Group had something to celebrate recently, with the 60th Birthday of Chairman Fred Chadwick.

 
In the same week the company also held a breakfast viewing of one of its larger schemes at Vulcan Street in Oldham.  The development consists of a large refurbished industrial unit and additional new build units on the same site.
 
Whilst the bacon sandwiches were very well received, the best food of the week was definitely Fred’s rather unusual birthday cake!
  

MediaCityUK comes to Town

Whale successfully hosted a breakfast for the Forum for the Built Environment featuring the extensive development which is taking place on Salford Quays to create MediaCityUK. A hundred people attended the event at the Imperial War Museum North to hear more about the project.

A unique environment for the media sector to grow and prosper, MediaCityUK will be a place for people to work , live and visit. In addition to state-of-the-art TV studios and

an unparalleled communications structure, the site will boast a public open space capable of staging events for up to 9,000. The first phase of the development is due for completion in 2011, when the BBC will relocate five London-based departments to the Quays, including Sport and five live.

Speakers were Mark Covell, Head of External Affairs for the BBC at MediaCityUK and Paul Newman, head of communications at MediaCityUK, who previously worked for three years as sports correspondent for the BBC’s Six O’clock News.

Whilst the site is progressing at a pace, unfortunately the Manchester Rain did spoil the view somewhat!

Congratulations to the Forman family!

Finally we got the news we’ve been waiting a while for, Client Services Director Kirsty Forman gave birth to baby Henry on Monday 23rd March, weighing in at 8lb 13.

Congratulations to the Forman family!

Body Positive gets a little help from Celebrity Friends

You may recognise the faces on the front page of Body Positive's recent magazine, who were only too glad to help promote the Green Ribbon to support instant HIV testing.  Whale created the new edition of the magazine, which included photographs and stories from the launch of the Green Ribbon Campaign.  The first edition of the magazine had proved to be a great success, which encouraged BP to expand the second edition from 36 to 52 pages.  It provides a showcase for the work that the charity is undertaking, as well as independent articles and advertising which brings in funds to support BP's work.
