Unlike a child of the 80s, there's a £1000 fee. Still reason enough for a celebration.
Well done to the team!

Microsoft Certified Partners!
Like a child of the 80s collecting pop bottle tops and Panini stickers, Eventura have now collected enough Microsoft points to qualify to upgrade to Microsoft Certified Partners.
Unlike a child of the 80s, there's a £1000 fee. Still reason enough for a celebration.
Well done to the team!

Business Awards
Last night was the The Bolton News and Bury Times Business Awards held in the Premier Suite at the Reebok Stadium.
Over 500 of your local ‘Business Elite’ met at the ceremony which kicked off with a Champagne Reception at 6.45pm.
At around 7.30pm we were all seated by the Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Norman Prince. After a short welcome speech from Ian Savage (Editor in Chief of The Bolton News and The Bury Times) and Councillor John Byrne we were served with a fabulous four course meal.
A rather amusing after dinner speech was then presented by the guest speaker Geoff Miller — a former cricketer, who sits on the ECB board of selectors.
Then came the awards.
Eventura was up for two awards: SME Business of the Year and the Managing Director Chris Houghton was running for Business Person of The Year.
Unfortunately we didn’t come away with either of the awards; however we were the only company to be nominated twice! That itself is a great achievement!
So thanks to all our customers and suppliers, we aim on trying even harder to provide you with the best computing solutions and hope to bring a piece of silverware home next year!

"How can social media benefit your business?"
I attended a seminar this morning by pr guru Nathan Smith of Smith & Smith PR. Although quite short for an 'interactive workshop', there was a lot of information crammed in.
The talk was admittedly rather generic, catering for all kinds of industries, and while it answered the big questions about the 'whys' of Social Media marketing, I found myself a little unsure of the 'hows'; that's not to say it wasn't very informative, well put together and expertly delivered, but I hope the subsequent resources that Mr. Smith promised to send on will help me actually get started.
I can certainly see how digital marketing can benefit both Eventura and our clients, but at the moment it seems like something of a minefield.
The seminar inspired me to blog about it, so watch this space for Eventura on Twitter, perhaps?

Eventura top the tables despite the recession!
The following is an extract from an email from Eventura's Sage 200 Account Manager;
"Just thought you’d like you know your progression and campaign of rising up the Sage league table continues to do very well.On a year on year comparison you’ve come from almost nowhere last year to now holding a solid mid table position overall. This is a great first year performance and is exceptional in challenging market conditions.The highlights of your performance to date are that you are now the 7th largest partner in the whole of North England and 1st for Retail in this region and 3rd for retail overall in the UK.I would like to wish you and your team continued successes and results as we move towards our year end in September."
As you can see Eventura's success in selling and implementing Sage 200 business systems software over the past year has been recognised and compared on a National basis!
Well done to all the team. Keep up the excellent work!
