Chief Exec, @LpoolSciencePrk. Part of Liverpool's Knowledge Economy. ERDF pump primed the city. Have no time for endless strategies. Pace and delivery is key.
4/ Following discussions with the Board, I decided the time was right to move on. It has been a privilege to have performed the role of chief executive, to have worked with so many great innovative companies and,
Fresh from the inaugural LSP Directors' breakfast. Another informal networking session for peer to peer chat and collaboration. Certainly played to my strengths of eating and talking. Same again next month!
A 4.50 alarm is an hour earlier than normal. Snow, ice and hail on the M6 kept me on my toes, but fortunately Mr Snell was in top form, as ever. Many thanks to Kat for shoving a black coffee in my hand after I’d ice skated down Mount Pleasant!
@9DotsCreative Hi, I'd not thought of that dimension. I was probably too surprised that it worked! I think if it carries on working we could well look to open the session up, probably for companies in similar sectors to my tenants, like you, as opposed to lots of generic consultants.
Coffee, croissants, fruit, bit of music, no agenda, no formality, no little speeches, in working hours. Couldn’t possibly work. Wrong, the best networking session we’ve ever done. We shall repeat. Who said you can’t teach an old dog (ahem) new tricks!
Either (i) like a finely tuned motor, I slipped effortlessly into gear after being off since Christmas Eve, or (ii) my engine needed a bit of revving, with lots of rattling as I got going. You decide. Thank goodness for @_landcoffee is all I can say. Bring on 2019!
Just had the culinary equivalent of a mid-life crisis. Avocado, falafel and hummus on door-stop bread. Absolutely superb. I’ll be dyeing my hair, buying a sports car and emoting next.

Two outstanding speakers, sharing knowledge and insights about the here and now, and the future. We even entered the realm of philosophy and how immersive technology should be employed for the benefit of humankind. Now you don’t normally get that over your morning coffee.
We’re talking all about immersive tech in the future world of work this morning. We have Andrew Borland from the @LivUni Virtual Engineering Centre and @Phil_Charnock from @DrawAndCode. A fascinating topic to get the brain ticking on a Friday morning #IntheKnow
A real asset to the @KQLiverpool collective. This really is the brand that keeps on giving. Keep up the good work @drjoannephoenix in Year 2 and keep those leads coming!
Just goes to show that a visionary strategy does not have to be slow and ponderous. A world class story already, but just wait till the economic ripples start to be felt within 18-24 months. The city's centre of economic gravity is moving up the hill.
From an outdated secondary school to a £1bn development scheme transforming #Liverpool's Knowledge Quarter.

What a great evening with the LSP businesses. The chat never stopped and we will definitely do something similar on a more regular basis. Who knew bread rolls could give you such a thick head...
Lovely to hang out with these wonderful people at the #rcpdinner last night @StGeorgesHallLV ~ stunning venue and lovely dinner ~ some quality time with fellow businesses from @LpoolSciencePrk too!

Two for the price of one. @colindsinclair is both our newest @LpoolSciencePrk Board director and my new line manager. I think the @KQLiverpool pace has just gone up a notch. Looking forward to it! Buckle yourself in.
