14 May, 2012
Runcorn, an industrial town in the North West of England, was the home of the Runcorn Transporter Bridge from 1905-1961.

As I’m writing this blog, I have just come back from the Business Planning Competition Awards Ceremony which took place at Firth Hall, here at the University of Sheffield, and I must say I’m on an enterprise rush (kind of like a sugar rush but better). Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months you will have seen some kind of promotional materials on campus advertising this amazing competition which runs every year and is open to University of Sheffield students and graduates of up to five years. This year we had more than eighty business plans submitted in the two categories – commercial and social venture – and the awards ceremony saw the winners of each category crowned.
