The Hilton Hotel Manchester

David Gale

We were very excited to find out that David Gale was awarded Manchester’s Chef of the Year this month.

Our very own Northern Cook Off Chef has been awarded a prestigious title for his superb cooking at The Hilton Hotel in Manchester. With both of his teams ‘GT on the Rocks’ (Grant Thornton) and ‘The Saucy Seasiders’ (Hi-Life Dining Club) through to the second round it may not be the only award he will be picking up this year if they make it through to the final. We will be venturing up the 168.87 metre high hotel in the heart of Manchester to film the master at work in his kitchen later this month, we’ll keep you posted!!

The Business End

The Business End

We love it when the delightful Katy calls us from cctwo as we know are going to be whisked off to a very organized event at a swanky hotel with some of the world’s most prestigious corporate companies discussing their new business goals and we can assist the smooth running of the shows.

We have had some great days out recently at venues including the luxurious Ramada hotel in Manchester whilst one of the UK’s largest Banking Groups descended on the city for their Autumn Roadshow, and our crews at the ready to film the prestigious events.

Fun days out with CITC – Imagine your Goals

City in the Community

This month we’ve been in the community filming for the launch of new initiative ‘Imagine Your Goals’ part of the ‘Times Change’ Campaign.

The project sponsored by MCFC is dedicated to working with people suffering from problems around mental health and to try and improve their situation by offering a physical activity, an opportunity of playing football on a regular basis. The scheme raises awareness as well as offering help and support within the community. We interviewed Paul Evans, Mental Health Practitioner for Manchester Mental Health PCT; who explained the benefits of the initiative and how research has proven that exercise is equally as useful as antidepressants. 1 in 4 people each year experience some form of mental heath issue, and the scheme wants to reach out to people as well as raise awareness. Steven Turner, Men’s Health Project Manager, CITC told us about the social advantages of getting people together and working as a team and how it impacts on the improvements of the individual suffering with Mental Heath related problems on many levels.

Ex MCFC stars Paul Lake and Jeff Whitley, ambassadors of the programme who have been very open about their experiences with Mental Health were there to highlight the issues, which is very inspirational for a lot of the men participating in the scheme. Paul Lake explained, “It is not the weak person that comes out, it is the strong person” and Jeff added “There is help out there for everyone!” Go watch the Film online
