Lawson launches the first programme in a series of Business Documentaries about M3 software customers.
Martin Murgatroyd, Head of IT at Brunner Mond, explains how M3 Analytics Module has helped control costs and drive the business forward.
Businesses are facing tough times right now. Every organisation needs to do more with less, and squeeze every ounce of performance out of each department.
To do this, you need a clear and accurate view of how your business is performing. M3 Analytics software provides this insight. It is business intelligence at a fraction of the normal cost, in a fraction of the normal time.
Monday was supposed to be just another ordinary school day, but as children from Trinity CofE Primary School in Wolverhampton arrived, they found a space ship had dramatically crash landed in the school grounds.
Fire and Police arrived on the scene, and after the smoking wreckage had been secured, the children were invited to investigate. Their investigations uncovered the start of an exciting new school project, exploring the far reaches of the galaxy.
Helping to lead the project is Rebecca Hardy, iceni’s Head of Educational Media and Creative Agent for the school. Rebecca, the teachers and the creative team help inspire young people and creative professionals to challenge how they work and experiment with new ideas.
The day’s experimental events certainly got the attention of TV and newspaper reporters.
Within the next two months I will be participating in two bike rides in aid of some very worthy causes.
On the 10th of May I will be cycling 25 miles around the Stafford area in aid of Katharine House Hospice. Following this I shall attempt the 54 mile London to Brighton ride with all sponsor money going to The British Heart Foundation.
The L2B ride will take place on Sunday the 21st of June and any donations to The British Heart Foundation would be greatly appreciated and can be done on my fundraising page www.justgiving.com/garethlangford
So with the next iceni activity leaning towards cycling, hopefully I can fit in some extra training before the 79 miles.

iceni was Highly Commended for a film devised by young people from George Salter Collegiate Academy.
Normals features the creative talents of 24 young people aged between 13 and 16 years old. The film is the culmination of 3 years work between our Head of Educational Media, Rebecca Hardy, and George Salter Collegiate Academy. In that time the school has progressed from the brink of being considered a failing school, to receiving national recognition as one of the most improved schools in the UK.
Mick Green, Head Teacher at the school said, ‘It is great to see what young people are capable of when working with media professionals to produce a film of the highest quality. The project has had a great impact on our school community, building confidence, self esteem and motivation.’
Rebecca Hardy added, ‘Many of the young people involved in the film lacked confidence and it is impressive to see how natural and confident so many of the performances are.’
Normals features five intertwined storylines that explore similarity and difference, and deal with sensitive issues such as group loyalty, theft, drinking, trust and betrayal. The film was funded by Mediabox and Black Country Creative Partnerships.
Marco Forgione, IVCA Chief Executive said: ‘In winning the Highly Commended Award, Normals showcases a creative approach to delivering focused and meaningful communications. iceni have shown their capacity to lift the standard for corporate communications, a profession in which Britain leads the world.’The film is available as part of WRAP, a collection of 6 films with accompanying teacher’s notes and lesson plans that form a teacher’s guide to film making as part of a creative curriculum. www.educational-film.co.uk/

Michael Holmes presenter of Channel Five’s ‘I Own Britain’s Best Home’ get hands on with Solar Panels in a new style of training TV show. Co-starring the ever lovely Sara Hollamby, the show was produced for the UK’s most awarded home improvement company, Everest.
