Setters had a stand on Feb 1st at the RenewableUK conference held at the Hilton/Deansgate in Manchester.
The event actually kicked off with an informal drinks and networking session on the eve of the main day programme.
The main objective from our point of view, was to make an announcement that we have ‘joined the party’ in this very exciting ‘virgin snow’ business sector.

Our strategy on the day was to display our seasoned  trophy cabinet through a two pronged approach merging the Coaching/training side of the business with our unique in house client specific imagery library.  Setters left their footprints in the snow using a combination of expert personal in the renewable field, coupled with an artfully vague stand which we believe ‘knocked on the door’ of people’s natural curiosity with the result of them coming to us to say ‘hi’, ‘enlighten me’ or ‘what’s this all about then’

Apart from a very enjoyable day out, we met our objectives of making new friends, achieving extremely exciting future business partnerships and contacts as well as shouting ‘WE ARE HERE!!’ from the top of the highest wind turbine!

With Stress in Mind

A 1 day stress management course in which individuals and teams are encouraged to challenge their own thinking and responses to pressures, providing them with the necessary tools to manage and even thrive on stress rather than merely coping with it.

Why Stress about Stress?

1. In 2007, the HSE estimated that work-related stress accounts for over 1/3 of new incidences of ill health
2. Each case leading to an average of 30.9 working days lost
3. In 2005/6, a total of nearly 11 million working days were lost to stress, depression, and anxiety
4. In 2003 the HSE found that approximately 70% of common work-related stresses are also the root causes of accidents

What you can expect!
The course will coach delegates in understanding the nature of stress, recognising the symptons, practical approaches in handling stress, and the first steps towards the establishment of a positive and dynamic culture free of stress. Delegates will receive a certificate of attendance.

Tony Moss recently gave a talk at Bangor University for the North West Wales Health and safety Group. The topic was 'Zero Harm or Santa Claus' Tony made the effort to introduce himself to the local crowd in Welsh, something that went down well in his Blackburn accent!

The talk was well received and generated lots of interest.
