The value of teamwork

A skillful landing

The occupants of a car involved in a serious accident were very fortunate yesterday.

Seconds after their car was pushed into the air, spinning like a top before landing in a field 50 metres off the road, the incident was attended by local doctor Stephen Houghton. I called the emergency services as he released the passenger who was trapped upside down in the overturned car.

Within minutes the ambulance and air ambulance arrived from Blackpool. An efficient operation got underway with Dr Houghton briefing and then working with the other professionals. All the medics - were fantastic.

If you were in such an incident you would be very pleased if the air ambulance turned up. Quick and  life-saving attention and transport to the local hospital within minutes.

Villagers take refuge while MAG makes their home a safer place

The MAG-net business network meeting at the award-winning Chips development in Manchester was a success for everyone who attended.
In my presentation – The inspiration for ‘How to Invest Better than the Average Primate’ I observed the common ground. MAG holds a Nobel Prize for its humanitarian work and investing truths come from Nobel Prize winning research. Both experience many hidden dangers, although the exhibition imagery put everything that was delivered into perspective.

You should not miss the photographic exhibition ‘Surviving the Peace’. The bare, utilitarian setting of an unfinished building may sound a strange setting for an exhibition, but it is in harmony with the images of survival, bravery and the determination of the human spirit. On this occasion a carpet on the ground would feel inappropriate and out of harmony with the black and white images and blood-red supports.

The book is now in its second print run and a short thought provoking video is available for you to view on YouTube.
