2009 Dragonboat champions - 'The Severn Deadly Sinners'


The 'Severn Deadly Sinners' team from Severn Partnership entered the 2009 Dragonboat race on the River Severn in Shrewsbury - and WON !!!.
33 teams entered, racing over three heats with the six fastest times getting through to the major final, which we won with the fastest time of the day. Dress for the day was rather informal (Punks). Thanks to all the surveyors and friends of Severn Partnership who punked up and took part - aiming to raise over £1,200 for the Severn Hospice.

E-business support network, Prague



In May, Nick Blenkarn gave a presentation to the European Union E-Business support network (ebsn) in Prague. The conference was aimed at improving adoption of innovative IT systems, cloud based collaborative software and business planning tools. The talk gave examples of how Severn Partnership have utilised these developments to improve efficiency, manage staff scheduling and remote working.
