BUSINESS REPORT
CONNOR AND JADE WILL LEAD NEXT GENERATION
An inspirational group of young business people has appointed its first president and vice-president. Next Generation Chamber was
launched by Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce and its sister Chamber in Milton Keynes to help businesses nurture young members of staff by offering them regular personal development sessions and networking events. In less than a year it has attracted
over 100 people through membership and its new committee has appointed Connor Slasberg as its president and Jade Day as its vice-president. Connor, who is a
customer development manager at dbfb, said: “Our committee has so much potential and it’s very exciting that together we will shape the future of Next Generation Chamber.” Jade, who is Whittlebury Hall’s
event sales manager, added: “I’m excited to be able to assist with leading the organisation and helping it to reach its full potential.” Northamptonshire Chamber chief
executive Paul Griffiths said:
“Connor and Jade are so enthusiastic about their careers and industries and
have brought this
enthusiasm with them to Next Generation Chamber. “They are fantastic ambassadors
for the Chamber and we are all very excited to see how Next Generation Chamber will develop with their and
the rest of the committee’s support. I was very proud to recently appear with Connor on BBC Radio Northampton’s Drivetime Show where he spoke confidently about Next Generation Chamber and all it has to offer young business leaders.” Next Generation Chamber’s
patrons are Mercer & Hole and the University of Northampton.

ENGINEERS HELP PROTECT DATA
Briggs & Forrester Engineering Services have completed works on the Data Centre project at the University of Birmingham after eight months on site, working in collaboration with an independent construction and property services company. The facility includes services
to specialist water cooling technology to keep the high intensity research computing systems cool. This has involved specialist
pipework and filtration to maintain the water quality required to bathe the computer chips. Multiple heat exchangers, staged pumping and controls were also provided. To achieve flexible load
capabilities Briggs & Forrester utilised high efficiency, free cooling adiabatic dry air coolers to provide market leading energy utilisation. The two data centres are
split between college and professional services and research led initiatives.
