Busy Summer for Crusader “Crusader Sponsorship Management & Events has had a busy Summer. On behalf of our clients we have booked hospitality at the Aegon Championships, Wimbledon, the British Lions tour to South Africa, Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, Lord’s, Edgbaston and the Oval for the Ashes climax and a group has just returned from Italy where they enjoyed the Monza F1 Grand Prix as well as the shopping and gastronomic delights of Milan. The sporting calendar now starts to take on a more Autumnal feel with shooting, racing and both domestic and international rugby union all firmly on the agenda. With England qualifying for the FIFA
World Cup in South Africa next year the phones have been getting hot, we are expecting huge demand for our bespoke travel and hospitality packages when the draw is made for the Finals in Cape Town on December 4th. On top of all this we have made sure that our principal client Ignis Asset Management has generated the maximum return from its sponsorship investment in Middlesex County Cricket Club at Lord’s. As I write this article Middlesex are top of their Pro40 division with one game to go. For details on how to receive a FREE copy of our 2010 Sporting & Social Calendar listing the key dates for your events planning purposes please email callen@csmltd.org with details of your name, company, telephone number and address.”

After an absence of fifteen years, In Oxford Group Chairman, Colin Rosser, has returned to the board of Goodhead PLC as a non Executive Director. Sir John Madejski invited his predecessor onto the board in September, and Colin was delighted to accept the challenge. After a turbulent period in Goodhead’s history, Colin is looking to add stability to one of the country’s top five printers. ‘The company has huge potential and I was genuinely impressed to see the strides it had made since I was last there. Goodhead now has the best equipment in the country and is ready to increase its workload with the printing firepower it has.” See interview with Sir John Madejski on page 48.
Blink Deliver Witney Shopping Map and Website to Help Raise Town’s Profile Little over a month ago, Blink Design were awarded the contract to design and develop a new interactive shopping website for Witney. In addition, not only did Blink have to secure advertising support from over seventy Witney traders for a new 60,000 run, A1 full colour Shopper’s Website, but a new identity for Witney Shopping had to be created. After an intensive weekend of designs, re-designs and ‘cyber scrunched up’ designs, Blink’s new designer, Eranga Hadirampela came up with the striking green swirl ‘W’, representing the W in Witney and Wool, resembling a flowing blanket, the product which Witney is best known for. Two Open Days at The Corn Exchange, great support from Will Barton at West Oxfordshire District Council and Lesley Semaine of Witney and District Chamber of Commerce, but, above all, the unwavering support of Witney’s core independent traders enabled Blink to get the map to the printers in advance of the opening of Marriott’s Walk by MP David Cameron on 30th October. Crucial to the overall design was a fantastic ‘character location’ map, illustrated by talented artist, Jack Noel, using a mixture of Google maps, photographs and good old fashioned street walking to help formulate a design which will be seen on poster sites as well as the maps and website. See www.witneyshopping.co.uk for the new Witney Shopping website and keep an eye out for the printed map in In Oxford Magazine / Glide Media display racks throughout Oxfordshire.
