failed. When Business Times closed at the start of the pandemic, Judith was available and I jumped at the chance, because I know how important she would be for us in the future, even though I did not know exactly what the future was.” By September 2021, and thanks to continual growth, All T ings
Business London was launched, giving an exciting new platform that saw fi rms in the capital benefi ting from the wealth of experience now available from the All T ings Business team. Today, two print editions, Northamptonshire and Milton Keyes/
Bedfordshire, continue to highlight the companies, organisations and services for which this region is known. Judith said: “What I love about editing All T ings Business is,
without doubt, the people I get to speak to each month. Over the past few years, when there has been so much uncertainty and negativity generally, just sharing the stories of those businesses who are still successful, still proud of what they do, and still determined to ride out whatever challenges they might face, is a privilege.”
Education Behind the Business needs Education, Education needs Business message that features so heavily within everything All Things Business Northamptonshire has achieved, is the knowledge that the two sectors are tightly intertwined.
Without the schools, colleges and universities and their amazing
staff , young people would not become the capable, knowledgeable and confident adults our business community needs as the workforce of tomorrow. Similarly, without support from businesses, from feeding into
what’s needed from the curriculum and which skills are necessary for the county to carry on doing what it’s doing, to working with schools to hold talks, workshops, offer work experience and internships, our schools would not have the focus they do. Ben T omas said: “My mum was a schoolteacher for 25 years and
I have childhood memories of her at home, preparing for lessons and marking work in the evenings, at weekends and holidays, but also the ‘extras’, taking in clothes and shoes that my brother and I had grown out of to pass on to disadvantaged children. “T en, during the pandemic, it really hit home how amazing our
schools were as they coped with home schooling. We played our part with TechTogether, our laptops appeal, teaming up with Nene Education Trust and Bechtle, then ACS, to gather unused or unwanted devices from the business community, clean them and pass them on to children who had no other means to work from home. “We’re proud to organise the Northamptonshire Education
Awards each year, supported by business sponsors, and recognising the fantastic people who guide our children through their education.”
