I remember turning up on my first day at MCG as a young, shy, teen not knowing what to expect from the big daunting world of work. As the days at MCG continued, I was always looking forward to the next day not knowing what job I would be given. From writing press releases, research work and blogging, to jobs such as cuttings and mail outs, I’ve pretty much done a selection of exciting tasks. Okay, well not all of the jobs were exciting.

Anyone looking at MCG’s branding will guess that we love a bit of colour, so I was delighted to see the new Leeds City Region logo at the Local Enterprise Partnership Summit at the Royal Armouries today. It’s a real celebration of local colour
The coloured circles, each represent one of the ten districts which make up the Region: Barnsley, Bradford, Calderdale, Craven, Harrogate, Kirklees, Leeds, Selby. Wakefield and York, created a colourful rainbow of balloons on the screens above the heads of 750-plus public sector chiefs and leaders of private business which made up the audience.
It’s just over a year since we started our Spot Colour 365 blog. The challenge was to post a colourful image every day of the year, with the aim of making a mosaic of spots.
