A short film giving an overview of how US2U Consulting worked in partnership with a client to successfully project manage one of their 2012 marketing initiatives arising from the strategic business planning review.
Rachel Blackburn presented the award for 'Best Manager'.
We were pleased to be joined for the evening by our client Wendy Browne, Head of HR at NORCAS - 'It was a pleasure to be invited to the Norfolk Recruitment Awards by US2U Consulting. Having worked with them for a few months it was a great opportunity to spend time with them and celebrate the achievements of individuals and organisations in the area. It was a very enjoyable evening spent in a great venue with great people'.
Rachel Blackburn and Shaun Walton were delighted to exhibit at the recent Norfolk CIPD event 'Managing Your HR Career' held at the Oaklands Hotel in Norwich.
With 10 exhibitors and around 70 visitors to the show, the evening was a great success.
A series of three presentations were delivered that focused on the speakers' careers in HR to date as well as offering handy career hints and tips.
"It's always great to have a presence at these sorts of shows. They often prove to be of real benefit as a hub for business, networking and picking up on useful information," said Rachel.
We are pleased to announce that Hazel Stimpson, HR and Training Manager for Harrod UK, was chosen at random as the winner of the US2U Consulting Champagne prize draw held at the CIPD Norfolk trade show in April.
Rachel took advantage of the glorious May sunshine to hand deliver Hazel's prize to Harrod's Lowestoft facility. The drive back from the coast meant that the bottle remained sealed but we hope Hazel enjoys her prize.
"I am delighted to be the recipient of this Champagne as part of US2U Consulting's CIPD prize draw initiative," said Hazel.
The theme was the Olympics and there was excellent teamwork all round!
It was great to have a football goal donated by Harrod UK, an official London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games supplier.
"On behalf of all here at ABC, I want to say thank you for your hard work, time and effort that you put into the Lord Mayor's Procession. The day was a huge success and boosted our company and image to a wide range of the general public. The weather stayed dry and feedback was great; everyone had a fantastic time and it was nice to see the team making such an effort." Simon Callender, Director ABC Taxis Ltd.
Rachel Blackburn and guests attended the 2012 Norwich School Ball and took the opportunity to promote US2U Consulting and ABC Taxis, a client of the company.
We also took the opportunity to promote another of our clients, NORCAS, that is a 'leading independent charity working with people, of all ages, who have problems with alcohol, drugs or gambling.'
>When a client receives a national award, we take immense pleasure in knowing we've been part of their road to success.

The Norwich Entrepreneurs' Breakfast Club invited US2U Consulting's managing director Rachel Blackburn to deliver a presentation at their recent event.
The Entrepreneurs' Club, which is joint-sponsored by The FD Centre, PwC, HSBC and Birketts, endeavours to unite likeminded business people to discuss and share best practice over a cup of coffee and a bacon roll.
Rachel presented on the issues around motivation and staff engagement including the importance of maintaining a strong sense of teamwork, keeping communications open, embracing innovation, optimism and inspiring through leadership consistent with company values.
The morning was really positive and Rachel was delighted to be given the opportunity to share her ideas.
We are pleased to continue working with ABC Taxis on the next phase of their business development by helping them build on their growing success.
Their progressive attitude has allowed for really positive development and it is great to further assist them with their vision:
"To be the best, most professional taxi service in Norwich delivering an excellent customer service experience by attracting the best drivers and staff. This will make ABC Taxis the preferred choice for customers and third parties."
We have recently joined forces with the University of East Anglia (UEA) to recruit a new marketing coordinator as part of the UEA’s internship programme.
We believe that employing an intern will be mutually beneficial by assisting with the progression of the business and nurturing upcoming talent.
Shaun Walton, a BA (Hons) graduate has joined the US2U Consulting team on a 12 week internship which will give him the opportunity to experience working for a busy consultancy firm.
He will support the director with tasks relating to public relations and direct marketing.
