Dr Gavin Jordan, a Lead Auditor at Interface NRM, recently spent four weeks on a mountain climbing expedition to the world’s highest mountain range – the Himalayas. Whilst on this daring adventure he scaled the challenging peak of Ama Dablam.

He said of the challenge: “The mountain appears steep from all sides and appears pretty impenetrable. Luckily this is not the case, and there is a ridgeline that leads to the upper face providing a reasonably straightforward route – although still involving a rock pitch of Hard Very Severe and some quite steep mixed/ice climbing, sometimes involving short sections of vertical ice.”

Well done to Gavin – just another example of the kind of people we have working at the e-Innovation Centre!

A great afternoon was had by all as the annual summer barbecue was held on Wednesday 1st August.

Tenants of EIC and the the Business and Technology Centre were treated to food as well as an array of games to play in the sun. There was a golf game, skittles, boules, and in the marquee an F1 video game competition complete with racing chair, pedals and steering wheel provided by Business Solutions. 

Lots of people took part in the competition and in the end the fastest lap was recorded by Ginny from Round Software who will receive a voucher for the Greenshoots Deli.

A big thank you must go to the catering team for providing the food, and also to EIC and BTC  tenants for coming and joining in. Same time next year!
