Wayland Community Radio 105fm

Geoff is the guest on Wayland Radio tonight. Not sure what the interview is about - EMTC hopefully, I don't want to talk about my past! It will be funny answering questions during an interview, I used to give my name and number now I tend to stay silent.

Skippy goes the Extra Mile

Due to circumstances beyond our control we have changed our sponsoship with Thetford Town. We have agreed to sponsor the Thetford influential midfielder Craig Skipp. This is what the TTFC site says about Craig;

Age 22 Midfield: Skippy is a product of the youth set up and has yet to fulfil his potential, this could be his season. Great Character!

EMTC Management Director Geoff wishing Craig a successful season.

Thetford Town play in the Ridgeons League Division One.

From the Thetford Town Player Profile:

"Age 28: Signed from Brandon Town where he played successfully for 5 seasons, played in the Anglian Combination representative side that got to the semi finals nationally. Looks a bit like the "Monk" from the film "Mean Machine" which is worrying!"

Good luck for the season Dan.

July 08

July will be the month remembered when EMTC start hitting the Security market. We had been avoiding the Providing Security Services NVQ as we had been running it for so long in the RAF but it is such a credible award that we decided to push it along with other security awards.

Our first major PSS contract is with the security team at the University of East Anglia. The entire team are completing the award, many fully funded, and all are receiving the NOCN CCTV training as part of the course.

The Directors went for a meeting with City & Guilds and some other providers to Stoke City Football Club to discuss the Spectator Safety NVQ. There are not enough providers able to offer this award at levels 3 and 4. EMTC can and will be looking to offer it to the management at events and venues.

The Security Practioner Award is going well in London. We are now looking for some more local security firms to come onboard with this.
