Last night we went along to the Manchester Digital AGM. Manchester Digital is the independent trade organisation for digital industries in the North West.

The AGM gives members (like us) the chance to comment on how the organisation has performed, and to talk about the plans for the coming year.

A key part of the AGM is deciding who should represent the industry on Manchester Digital’s council.

Phil, our Technology Director, was one of 18 people who put themselves forward to join the council.

We are very pleased to be able to tell you that he was successfully elected, joining a number of our peers and colleagues from the industry.

Prior to the AGM, each candidate had to submit a statement outlining why they wanted to be involved with Manchester Digital. This was Phil’s statement:

“Manchester’s digital community has never been stronger, largely due to independent groups which have taken the lead in holding together this community and delivering value to its members. Unfortunately, Manchester Digital is absent from this. A lack of credibility and engagement has damaged Manchester Digital’s reputation. The council should be made up of people like myself, who are active in the community as well as the industry. It should know how to engage with its audience and provide something valuable. This will only happen if the individuals on the council are able to speak to the community as peers.”
