MAGGIE CHAMPIONS WOMEN WITH VISION


An ardent supporter of Northamptonshire Chamber has become one of our new Women With Vision champions. Maggie Halsall is a Chartered


Fellow of the CIPD, an independent HR consultant and founding director of Acanthus Management Limited. Set up in 2009, Maggie’s boutique HR consultancy offers bespoke, strategic HR advice and dedicated operational support to businesses across the UK. “No matter how established you


are, when you run a business, of any size, it’s helpful to listen to and acknowledge other’s experiences to get ‘their take’ of their environment, both business and personal, so that you can not only learn from them but be their sounding board too,” said Maggie. “Developing long lasting and supportive relationships with others in a safe space is crucial and becoming a champion for Women With Vision, enables me to continue to offer that support. “I’ve been a Northamptonshire Chamber member for 10 years this year and joined the board around seven years ago. I offered to become a Women With Vision champion so I can continue to offer support on challenging issues as well as celebrate success - and over the years I’ve been privileged to to experience both.” The Women With Vision (WWV)


network was launched in March and offers its members free online CPD events, access to networking events, a bi-monthly drop in event and a free 30-minute mentor Zoom call with one of the network’s champions.

It also highlights significant landmarks including the move to its rural manor house in Wollaston and Ernest Bader gifting the company to his employees to form the Scott Bader Commonwealth. Scott Bader’s rich history has also been documented in a Commemorative book, which will be made available on its website. Scott Bader CEO, Kevin Matthews, said: “The principles and values that Scott Bader’s founder Ernest Bader enshrined in the Constitution have fantastic resonance with the needs of the 21st century as society transforms itself onto a path that is sustainable in the long- term. “To this end Scott Bader also


recognises its own role in the transition of its customers’ supply chains to be sustainable and this is likely to be the main driving force for the company in the decades to come.” In 2018 Scott Bader launched its 2036

One of the AgeUK Northamptonshire volunteers


Age UK Northamptonshire volunteers have been working at the county’s NHS Covid-19 Vaccination Centre at Moulton Park since the beginning of February. Sixteen volunteers from the


charity have been joining the fantastic team effort onsite, working in patients and carer liaison roles seven days a week from 10am to 3pm. By providing a friendly,


professional welcome at the main door, and keeping the queues flowing, people are channelled efficiently through to the assessors with hardly a delay. Volunteers have also provided


support to vulnerable people who needed help with a wheelchair or a drink of water to calm their nerves. By mid-April, Age UK Northamptonshire had donated over 240 hours of free support to


the NHS Covid-19 vaccination programme. Age UK Northamptonshire chief


executive Chris Duff said: “Our volunteers are making a real difference to the NHS and ensuring that people’s experience of the vaccination process is a positive one. “We want to say a huge thank


you to the East Midlands Ambulance Service, Primary Care, Northamptonshire Healthcare Foundation Trust, Social Care, the Voluntary Sector and everyone involved in keeping Northamptonshire safe.” Volunteer Sharon O’Connell


added: “I’m so glad to be able to help. It’s a privilege to be part of the NHS vaccination effort.” Age UK Northamptonshire has


also continued to provide services and support to older people throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
