by Rhea Alton

It is difficult to type because my hands are red raw after attempting to give the Russian Ice Stars the applause they deserved following tonight’s Cinderella on Ice performance at Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn.

Gorgeous Llandudno hotel, an award win and perfect blue sky – what more could we ask for?

24 Dec 2013

by Kirsty Smallman

If you went to Llandudno on a cold, winter Friday night in the hope of winning an award then where else would you stay than an award winning hotel where the ceremony was being held. The best way to reduce the risk of ruining my hair do or overworking the heels walking from one venue to another was to book […]

So when we decided at Telford Business Club to mark our 25th anniversary we thought it would be great to get out and about for a taste of what our members did on their own turf.
