STUDENT SUPPORTED BY LOCAL BUSINESS SERVICE


JAB Business Services and the Stansted Airport Business Directory Group have been supporting a local student this year and provided her with a work placement crucial to her university course.

Katy Jameson, studying Public Relations with French at Leeds Metropolitan University is from Elsenham village and approached the local business Director for her help.

 

The course requires students to produce a portfolio of genuine PR work for an organisation and Julie Budden, Director of JAB Business Services and the Stansted Airport Business Group has generously supported the young student in her project. Katy explains, “The practical experience I have gained so far this year has just been priceless and I have really enjoyed working as part of the team. I’m so grateful for the opportunity they have given me.”

SECURITY WARNS AIRPORT IS STILL NOT SAFE

BAA has approached the Stansted Airport Business Group to organise a presentation for local members and non-members on airport security. Keen to remind us of the potential threats and on-going issues with security at Stansted Airport, the presentation will take place on Tuesday 8th of May at the Radisson SAS. BAA aim to reach as many businesses and individuals alike before the holiday season arrives.

 

The security level is classified as ‘severe’ and we must all be aware that strict security remains in place.


The presentation, by Nick Cole, Director of Terminal,  will also detail the ways in which we can all help the security department this summer, as the revised regulations will continue to have an impact on our airport's operations.

 

Following the presentation, which is open to both members and non-members, there will be an opportunity as always to network with fellow colleagues and enjoy the refreshments and buffet provided by our host venue. The meeting will be held from 4.30pm until 6pm and further details can be found in the Business Group Section of this web site.  Tickets cost £15 for members and £20 for non-members (plus VAT). To book, please contact Julie Budden on (01279) 87 00 64 or email events@stanstedairportbusiness.com

To book, please contact Julie on (01279) 87 00 64 or email events@stanstedairportbusiness.com 

BUSINESS GROUP BUILDS BRIDGES ACROSS COMMUNITY

 


January’s meeting for the Stansted Airport Business Group’s saw one of its’ very own members answer the donation appeal made by Essex Air Ambulance.

 

Nockolds Solicitors have generously pledged £1000 to begin an air ambulance service for Hertfordshire, which does not currently exist. Essex Air Ambulance attended the Stansted Airport Business Group meeting, held at Manor of Groves hoping to raise the profile of their very worthy cause, and to ask for local support.


Regular business meetings have also helped the community in other ways, as Anni of Airate speaks of the support they provide for her business, where she works alone. Networking is a very valuable tool and the events enable her to meet a wide range of business people from the airport community, talk about the work they do, share their ideas and experiences and exchange business cards.


 Having been invited to present at May’s forthcoming meeting, Anni says: “I hope this will give me the opportunity to share my expertise more formally with the group, promote my business services and get valuable feedback from other members. It is this type of professional networking and exposure that is critical to the success of small businesses.”
