It inspires people to have ideas and make them happen and aims to create a culture which supports enterprising people and recognises that making money and having a positive social impact can go hand in hand. The campaign is brought to life through the inspirational stories of successful entrepreneurs and enterprising individuals in the world of work, which is why Kelly has been chosen. Kelly is already making her ideas happen by continuing to grow her Graphic Design Agency along with business partner Paul Wright. “I’m thrilled to be part of such an amazing campaign. Rubber Cheese’s success is built on hard work, real world experience and valuable contacts. If we can share our experiences and inspire someone else to give it a go – great! I’ve always recommended getting out and meeting people in business and have to thank Broxbourne’s own Networking Guru Andy Lopata for putting me forward as a Make Your Mark Ambassador” You can view Kelly’s story here. http://www.makeyourmark.org.uk/inspiring_stories/kelly_molson Eimear Hale, from Make Your Mark, said: “A Make Your Mark ambassador is an individual who can use their experience to inspire others and encourage them to turn their ideas into reality.  Ambassadors are central to the campaign’s aim of increasing entrepreneurial motivation and experience.  Kelly will join a network who together will inspire people across the UK to take the plunge and make their ideas happen.” There are 600 Make Your Mark Ambassadors across the UK committed to telling their inspiring stories via events, school visits and the media.

OH YES THEY DID!!!At Rubber Cheese towers we are Spurs through and through… ( well nearly through and through, but we won’t mention a certain person who isn’t ) After seeing high scoring matches in previous years between Spurs and Arsenal, I thought I’d have a cheeky bet and put a couple of quid on Spurs to draw with Arsenal 4 - 4. It didn’t look like we had a chance, and my bet was going to be added to the scrap heap of silly bets placed over the years. That was until the last minute! Jenas scored a cracking solo effort, and then to seal an unbelievable draw, a Lennon tap in from a Modric shot off the post! C’MON YOU SPURS! The odds of a 4 - 4 draw? 500 - 1! Lovely Jubbly! The money is going straight into my wedding fund! As you can see from this video. We wern’t the only ones that it meant a lot to: http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1126121770/bctid1887841049 Personal 2008-10-30T10:28:00+00:00 http://www.rubbercheese.com/blog/comments/free-2-day-nlp-course/ http://www.rubbercheese.com/blog/comments/free-2-day-nlp-course/#When:12:57:00Z David Key from Auspicium, is letting all Rubber Cheese followers the chance to receive complimentary invites to his forthcoming eventAs a result of a close business partnership we have with David Key from Auspicium, we have received complimentary invites for all our clients and fans, to attend Auspicium’s forthcoming event: Part 1 of ‘A Business Diploma in NLP’.

Anyhow, the guy who has been creating these amazing projected pieces of art is called Julian Beever. He is an English chalk artist, and the projected style of art that he produces is called, anamorphosis. It creates an illusion that the artwork is three dimensional when viewed at the right angle. Beever is an accomplished Wall Mural artist and also specialises in fine art paintings. He has worked as a freelance performer for many companies all around the world. Take a look at his website to see some of his amazing pieces of art.

The first league game of the season has started off with a 7-2 thrashing from Stort Valley. Stort Valley were also promoted last season to Division 2 of the Terry Reed League but have had a much better start than the mighty RC Rangers! The game started with the new RC signings playing well, but it all went down hill after 20 minutes, when Ben (our new striker) was carried off the pitch after a nasty challenge from a Stort Valley player. We never seemed to keep our shape after Ben went off, and things went from bad to worse! It is not all doom and gloom though, as RC Rangers have a lot of new faces playing for us this year, one of them being Luke Hayden who scored a contender for goal of the season, on his debut! So the team are only just starting to gel together and know who each other are. The new transfers look like hot property, and the old players are just warming up! I’m sure it won’t be long before we are back at the top of the table, where we belong!

Motor Trades approached us as they wanted to work with a creative design team that was local to their Brentwood based offices. They were in desperate need for new media packs to be designed as they we’re down to their last few copies. The media pack is an essential part of their business. Potential clients who are ready to sign up to their website and would like more information about their directory website all receive it. They decided it was time for revamp the design, as old version was now dated and uninspiring, especially for a young, buzzing company on the up. It wasn’t selling their services in any way.
