What have we been up to?
I started this week off meeting Robert Garrick from 罗克韦尔自动化 to see how we can work with them to get their latest releases to market, more efficiently. It's obviously an account we really want to be working with but have found it difficult until now to have the conversation.

Taylor Macdonald reached out for some advice last week, so we had a quick call, to go through best ways for her to reach young people with the igus UK Yes Campaign. It's a technology resource for young engineers, where they look to support projects with their products/online tools.
After an intro from Gavin Hill , I met Tom Chaldecott to understand his business - Knox Thomas and to see how he could connect with more SME's and entrepreneurs.
Shout out to two of our advisors - ??Deepak Pathak & Bill Welch from Innovate UK for their input on features we should build, analytics we should focus on and how we go from a proven concept to a sustainable business.
Speaking of advisors, we signed back up to the Business Ready support package from Coventry and Warwickshire Growth Hub - back working with Steve Tipson !
I met with Gary Sheader from The Manufacturers' Alliance on Wednesday, after an introduction from Julie Penman ! Turns out we've been in the same room before and have a lot of mutual contacts, just never officially met. I've offered my services to any of the Alliances meetings, if Gary fancies a loose cannon on the panel ??.
Yesterday I had an intro call with Johann L. from Watlow to show him EI, what are plans are to scale and our reach through education. Maybe slightly early for Watlow, but I think once we're reaching more of their target industries, it could become a decent route to market.
Next was a fantastic conversation with Kasper Huisman from Belden Inc. - thanks to Moe Horton for the intro and upsell ??. Kasper worked for a software startup before Belden so understood the challenges, we face daily and we could have a good laugh through my pitch deck. Hoping this could be a great opportunity! ??
This morning I caught up with Charlie Allen at Automate BEST to tell her my amazing ideas for Automation UK & PPMA Show ... Apparently she's already beaten me to it ??.
A quick facetime to end the week, with Nathan Ghundoo this afternoon, to prep for a 施耐德电气 pitch, next week.
