How exciting

Every now and again, something happens that you didn't expect nor plan for. And today, it happened to me.
Barrels must have been well and truly empty and the cans scraped clean when I got a call from the RDA asking if I'd like to come along and "meet the minister" at the launch of a new European Funded Venture capital scheme for the North East.
Why - well, about 18 months ago, i managed to access VC through the scheme's forerunner and I've put it to good use so today Guroo employs 10 people, it makes money (occasionally) and we've pretty much done what we said we would do. in short it's a bit of a good news story that wouldn't have happened without the funding.
Anyway, bottom line is that I really enjoyed it - lots.
