We held our consultative stakeholder workshop yesterday

Everything went according to plan and we held our consultative stakeholder workshop yesterday. We had attendees from One North East, Business Link, all the universities in the region, Newcastle College, Knowledge House and KSA Partnership. The consensus was that it really was a great opportunity to discuss issues and priorities around Business and Community Engagement in the region and there were some great comments and feedback from the partipicants, which made it a worthwhile experience for all of us.
