Dragons Den @ The Billericay School, Hospitals & Mobile / Park Home Insurance

Yesterday afternoon saw me invited to be a “Dragon” at The Billericay School who were hosting a Dragon’s Den for part of the school holidays Gifted & Talented “Summer School” Event. I have not returned to a Secondary School for many years and I must admit that I had found myself extremely nervous about attending!

However my nerves were soon put at ease when we were greated by Mr Murnane – one of most enthusiastic teachers I have come across. The couple of hours flew by as we saw 6 presentations from children in Years 6 & 7 – all from a variety of schools across Billericay. Their presentations were fantastic, sadly we had to chose a winner – always the right thing to do and I think the right new product won – hey I would buy it tomorrow!

This afternoon sees me off to see the Consultant about my knee pain – could be my 4th Cartlige Tear – but I am not an expert so we will just have to wait and see.

Our new Mobile / Pak Home Insurance scheme has launched and I am very excited by this, my team have been working hard to deliver this new product  – as with all new developments we have expeienced delays but we get there in the end! I am hoping this will produce some good new business for us and I feel it is the last product we need to complete our Caravan offering!

The new football season looms and Friday sees my team, Watford, live on the TV against Norwich so I can sit back in my arm chair and hopefully enjoy the game – we need to get off to a good start this year.

Surprises – isn’t life great when people continually surprise you? Those who make you laugh & think are the people we all need to take care of!

Have a great day and keep smiling!
