		<description><![CDATA[With the end of another football season, I have to grudgingly admit the Red Devils from Manchester are the best team again. To win 20 top tier titles, compared to my team&#8217;s record, is certainly worth a mention. Football has also lost a great character and manager with the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson. So after [...]]]></description>

The second work placement I’ve chosen to do for the Clore leadership programme is at Sage Gateshead (which was previously known as ‘The Sage Gateshead’, but is currently undergoing a brand refresh). All kinds of music are happening [...]]]></description>

Derek, our groundsman, protected the nest with fencing and you can see some of his handiwork in the photo. I&#8217;m delighted to announce the arrival of the first cygnets on Tuesday.

It can seem that, no matter what good programs and processes you develop and get signed off by senior management, users just don’t care.
