Of course I am blogging about Enterprise.

Working in London on Tuesday to meet the great and the good, to hear their views and hopefully contribute something to the Enterprise Agenda, something positive.

I came away feeling that the reality of living in the North East especially in the Tees Valley is so far away from what policy makers think it is, that it could be really dispiriting.

One of the things that has been on my list of things to do for ages has been to write a blog.

We have had a blog on our websites for absolutely ages and have tried and tried to keep it updated and packed with interesting tidbits and other information and have of course failed miserably. (www.enterprisemadesimple.co.uk, www.enterpriserevolution.co.uk)

I would say, I have written one blog that has really meant something to me, which was the one about Henry Bolckow. (I'll put it back up if I can find it). Most people have popstars or footballers, actors or great thinkers as hero's, a Victorian industrialist is mine. (Wikipedia him, he's a legend)
