North West Centre of Excellence

News Update

Week Ending 3rd December 2004

1.      Colin Cram, the new Director, started at the Centre this week.  One of his priorities is to call a meeting of the workstream leaders to ensure that everyone is up to speed with developments and progress, identify areas of common interest and overlap between the workstreams and clarify responsibility for them.

2.      Given people’s commitments between now and Christmas, the most likely date for a meeting will be the 10^th January 2005.  This would also give workstream leaders an opportunity to meet Beth Loudon, the Assistant Director, who will start at the beginning of January.
