Hi Everyone!

This week Gavin M H from Destiny Plc started off the 60 second round with a questionably amusing joke (sorry Gav) about venison followed by a serious request for anyone we know that is a software developer working with Commercial Insurance Brokers.

Jonny Mindlin from Green Shoot and Audio Production Company, made a welcome return subbing for Michael Sinclair of China Once Call who was at an exhibition in Birmingham and is looking for any contacts we may have abroad to help him set up international agencies. Jonny was looking for training managers in large organizations as most of his work is in the learning arena.

Richard from Splatt Print is excited about his new machine (!) which gives his clients a faster and better quality service and urges us to market our way out of the recession! Meanwhile, Des Sutton for MBD is looking for other IFA’s that he can help out after doing an excellent support job for an exisitng customer.

Paul Marmor presented Sherrards Solicitors to the group and I requested any contacts you may have of businesses that are moving offices or expanding to help with their telephony needs.

Lovely Louise from Delfont Mackintosh reminds us that if we need ticket ideas for events other than the theatre she can still help, and Lewis from Joseph Sterling advised us to hand over any old gold or jewellry pieces so he can make us something fabulous from it.

George Metcalfe likened himself to a Swiss Army Knife – with all the tools he has he is able to get people to where they need to be and that’s what makes him the best Coach around!

Fiona Gale from Only Connect Solutions is working closely with the Telegraph and their Beat the Recession campaign. She is looking for companies that are keen in having a UK presence and branding in the Telegraph.

Fiona also bought along a great guest – Maverick Litchfield-Kelly an Independant Producer. Maverick was looking for companies keen to make corporate films as he has a wealth of experience in producing training and marketing films for staff and websites.

Susan Mumford joined us as a sub for Karelia of Manse and Garrat Property Services who highlights that it is a buyers market and wants any contacts we may have for cash rich property developers or anyone getting a divorce. Susan of Mumford Fine Art, a roof top gallery in Soho, informs us that she is taking part in the Affordable Art Fair and asks who do we know who is decorating a house or office.

Kirsty Joly of Perfectly Tempered gives us the best news of the morning – that she needs us to taste some new recipes yum yum! She is also looking for Wedding Planners. Bringing more happiness, Alexis from The Happiness Centre would like any contacts for Westminster Council.

Jamie Denham from Sliced Bread advised us that animation is a great way to illustrate processes and systems and is looking for companies that want to jazz up their powerpoint presentations.

Mab from Olive Communcations is straight to the point asking us who do we know that is tight! He does back this up with an explanation though, telling us about a great tariff fresh on the maket to lower your mobile spend.

Christian Ingeslev from Danesoft specialising in websites and surveys is looking for membership clubs, while Caroline Hampstead our resident copywriter (please dont hate me for my mixed tenses!!) has been busy writing scripts for Radio, TV, websites and brochures and wants to be put in touch with Advertising and Design agencies.

And finally, our lovely Chairman Mike Nightingale from Green Park Insurance gives us a case study of a client with property throughout the world that he helped get a single policy for and is looking for other international jet setters that he can provide the same top-notch service.

That is it everyone. apologies for any mistakes its been a bit of a mad rush this week! See you bright and early on Friday!
