The awards that helped a city believe again

If any event helps showcase a place and mark its progress it is an awards ceremony, and a trip through the Believe in Gloucester Awards archive describes a city on a brilliant journey of discovery.

Dear readers, 

We hope you caught some of that weekend sunshine! Here at Raikes we started with week by reading a rather exciting email from another business that wants to become one of our Founding Partners. Which is simply fantastic news. 

Then we went to meet the man behind another exciting start-up company, someone very well known to many people in Gloucester thanks to another very popular business he also founded. That’s for a story we have coming up soon!

At the end of last week we ran a piece about the forthcoming Gloucestershire Economic Strategy, which we pay-walled for our members. That plan goes before the county council for a vote on Wednesday. 

Ahead of that decision we also spent some of this morning reading the draft. We’re just not allowed to share it with you yet! But we will. 

In the meantime, we hope you have a great week!
