Company: Sterling Power Group
Date: November 2005
Assignment: To cover the Grand Opening of the new Training Centre including shots for publication in various industry magazines.
Present: Sterling Power Group Directors and staff, The Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Dudley, Sylvia Heal MP and Director General of the CBI, Sir Digby Jones
The Day: Several hundred images were taken including some formal shots of Sir Digby Jones officially opening the centre, and some rather less formal ones of the Mayor of Dudley in full mayoral attire astride a vintage motorbike!
Demonstrations in jointing and other skills were performed by the trainers and an impressive exhibition of equipment was on show, providing some excellent opportunities for "hands-on" technical photography, as published the following month in Utility Week.
There were a number of presentations and an animated address by Sir Digby Jones, a man who is very much used to being photographed and appeared very much at ease during the proceedings.
Some images were used for press releases and industry publications, and Sterling Power Training were also provided with a catalogue of images from the event to use for their own marketing strategies.
The Grand Opening was a huge success and the new arm of Sterling Power Group - Sterling Power Training - is now a busy and thriving Training Centre.
Thank you and well done to Tony, Bill and Angela for their respective parts in making the day a great success!
