Engineers Insight Newsletter #50

Engineers Insight Newsletter #50

Something's happening.

Can't believe I've written 50 of these...

Seems fitting that after 50 newsletters we're about to launch a feature to scale us. Next week we'll be announcing two big exclusive partnerships.


???Learn what makes people tick, not what they sell.

Episode 11 - Jacqui Hanbury

After spending 22 years at Festo UK & Ireland , through marketing positions to eventually being the Strategy Manager for North West Europe, Jacqui became an expert in the art of communication. Which led her to founding The Pathway Communication Company Limited , where she coaches business leaders and runs training courses on leadership, culture and strategic management, worldwide.

What have we been up to?

I started the week with a catch up with Moira Shaftoe and Molly Imrie from EngineeringUK to look at how Engineers Insight can play a role in next year's Big Bang Fair. It's a great opportunity to inspire 20 THOUSAND kids to think about a career in manufacturing. So, we're looking at an EI stand with 8 partners, all showcasing the best of industry.

Here's my brain dump I sent to a stand builder ????

I said previously "one day I'll bite off more than I can chew", until then I'm driving forward, trying to make change.

An intro call with Steve Dyer followed, to introduce Oil The Wheels and look at the work they do with companies like EI's new partner DOLD INDUSTRIES LIMITED .

I've somehow managed to add more things to my To-Do list this week, whilst actively trying to remove tasks.

A lot of back and forth with my co-founder on the latest feature, next week we'll be on app version 41 already! BUT, each version makes the app better, from simple bug fixes to a full overhaul of the UI.

2 new customer meetings to end the week:

  1. Oliver Mason very kindly introduced me to Chris Pavelin & Paul Sleigh from SensoPart to show them the work we'd done with Ollie's previous employer and our new plans for growth. I have a feeling Sensopart might be on the app before too long ??.
  2. Neil Turnbull from Schmalz UK didn't take long to get onboard - not sure if he felt bad for being late to the meeting ??. Also added Neil to the podcast list, I've got a feeling he's got some stories to tell.

Just realised 2 in 2 pitches said yes on the spot. ?? Maybe the tides changing.
