Wild West Cookout at EIC!

There was a fine ol’ time had by all as the EIC & BTC Wild West cookout moseyed in to town on Thursday afternoon.

A regular treat for our tenants, the annual summer event is always one to look forward to, but this year we added a taste of the Frontier with themed food as well as a rodeo bull.

Despite a hesitant start with the bull, the tenants soon got into the swing of things, but with wildly varying results! Some were also decked in fancy dress, looking like they had just stepped off a plane from Texas, with rodeo skills to match, although it’s fair to say others are best off sticking to an office…

Well done to the prize winners for the day. They were:

Best time on Rodeo Bull – Jamie from The HSS (38.2 secs)

Best fancy dress – Eishpal from Round Software

Thanks to everyone that attended. See you next year!

Richard from Bronze Labs Invited to Meet the Queen

This month Richard Howells, CEO of Bronze Software Labs, was invited to meet the Queen at a Buckingham Palace garden party in recognition of contribution to British Innovation.

Richard founded ‘The Tribe Project’, a digitally centred initiative to directly tackle national care inequality. Tribe uses geospatial datasets combined with machine learning to identify care ‘dark patches’ across the UK. These localities represent areas where it is no longer economically viable for care companies to operate and where thousands of vulnerable citizens are struggling to maintain a basic quality of life.

The Tribe Project up-skills people within care dark patches to become certified carers whilst simultaneously growing community social action. The technology provides an over-arching digital solution through which Local Government can commission help directly to vulnerable people seeking care. The Tribe Project has also won the ‘UK Social Impact Award’ from the Social Tech Trust.

Pictured is Richard at the garden party with his Mother Hazel Howells, who was the inspiration for starting the project.
