24 Hour Trading at Gold Network in Newcastle
The Newcastle University Alumni Service generously hosted a free wine and nibbles night at the Baltic in Newcastle last week. The “Gold Network” teamed up with One North East to deliver the “Live Local: Think Global” theme on Thursday 17th July 2008.
Joanna Berry Academic Director of Executive MBA Programmes, Newcastle University Business School, kicked off the festivities before introducing a talk by Adrienne McFarland ‘Live Local, Think Global: Worldwide Business Opportunities in the North East’.
Here are some pictures of us pressing the flesh and looking business like.
