Members in the news

Stephen Sacks was in the The Times recently talking about the pains of redundancies. Do click on the link to see the article.

Creative Orchestra (member Chris Arnold) have just done an unusual brief – decorate a piano for the Streetpianos project – part of Boris’ summer London festival. The piano to appear at 20 Soho Square is theme in a Soho style. The sexy piano is covered in a rubber like material with a big zip made of piano hammers. It’s one of 7 decorated for the event by artists. Another 23 will be placed in the streets and hopefully will encourage people to gather for a good old fashioned sing song.

Member Wayne Sharpe (Bartercard) was recently in the Financial Times, commenting that recovery from recession is at least a year away. Wayne also featured in Real Business, commenting on the gross expenditure of RBS on corporate hospitality just a year after their bail out.
