3M GTG, digital communication technology experts has introduced a new generation of billboard, the MetaTwistTower.
This powerful and impressive digital installation was launched at the MAC (Munich Airport Centre) Forum, a large outdoor multi-purpose event area, to mark the airport’s 20th anniversary.
Munich Airport is one of Europe’s busiest for international passenger traffic. Its accessibility, transport infrastructure and venue facilities also make it a popular location for a variety of exclusive events. Situated in the area between the two runways, the MAC Forum is Europe’s largest outdoor space (10,000 square metres) for shopping, recreation and business with a 40 metre high glass roof.
It is fully equipped with state-of-the-art communications technology and catering facilities to support sporting activities, live broadcasts, presentations, demonstrations, conferences and launches of all sizes.
everywoman, the UK’s largest female business community, has today announced the high flying women who have made it to the final of the Specsavers everywoman in Retail Awards. These women, working within large or small organisations, or as leaders of their own enterprises, demonstrate the exciting and diverse opportunities that are available for other women looking for career satisfaction and reward.
Now in their fifth year, the Awards were originally launched to address the disproportionate lack of women in senior roles in the retail sector by shining a spotlight on the achievements of those that have already climbed the ladder. The industry is one that is dominated by women, with over 60% of staff being female, but this number dwindles to less than 5% female CEOs in retail companies.
Cranfield Business Recovery is celebrating after the highly successful Godiva Awakes project marked the beginning of the 30th OIympic Games over the weekend.
Coventry’s own pre-Olympic celebration, Godiva Awakes saw a hugely impressive mechanically engineered six metre high animated Lady Godiva puppet powered by a team of 100 cyclists on a cyclopedia begin her seven day journey to London, accompanied by a carnival of over 200 dancers and performers from across the region.
Cranfield has been heavily involved in the project since becoming its first ever Golden Patron in December 2011. A VIP invitee to the awakening ceremony, Cranfield’s involvement in the celebration was recognised as the company had its very own branded panel inside Lady Godiva’s coat, which is now due to be displayed at the Artist Taking the Lead exhibition at Westminster Hall, in London
