Local Mood is Cautious, not Panicky
February 2nd, 2009
Sinead and Carol attended the Cadia (Gatwick Diamond Business Networking) members meeting today in rural Surrey. Here, Sinead gives us the scoop…
We were happy to hear that the general mood with local businesses in the area is one of caution and not panic. Cadia was urging companies to try and stay upbeat and to see the glass as half full and not half empty.
We were interested to learn that when the new owner of Gatwick Airport (whoever that will be) will be planning to invest 1 billion pounds into the airport for re-development (Hooray, I yell with glee, let’s give Heathrow a run for its money)!
Cadia had a meeting with the local council and was begging them to enforce that any new development that will take place will be run by Sussex companies and not ones from Essex etc. There will be new council housing built in the Gatwick Diamond Area too and again urges were made to utilise local engineering and Construction Company (keep the money spent within Sussex).
Sinead and Carol struck up friendly relations with other Brand, PR and Marketing agencies in the Sussex region: Midnight Blue Communications, Storm Communications and Preview.
