When The Workshop met Nick Clegg and Gordon Brown (on the same day)

The Workshop has been rubbing shoulders with some of the UK’s highest and mightiest this past couple of weeks.

Last Thursday, Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, popped in to our Sheffield office to take a sneaky peek at the marvellous interactive whiteboard resources that we created for the Houses of Parliament website. Mark, one of our directors, showed him the ropes and shared the limelight (see image above) as part of a story for the Sheffield Star.

Nick also had some very nice things to say about us:

“The Workshop is a real hidden jewel in the creative industry of Sheffield. My visit here has been a real eye-opener, finding a company that is doing such cutting-edge educational work. It’s a company everyone in Sheffield should be proud of.”

Then on the very same day Tiina, Richard and Katie were in Bradford for the launch of Morrisons Academy, a new scheme to help Morrisons’ staff gain nationally recognised qualifications as part of what they do every day.

The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, was also there to help get things underway. Having provided a range of consultancy, design and copywriting services for the HR Department and Morrisons Academy project, it was fair smashing to see the PM handling our goods, so to speak!

Of course, in the interests of impartiality, we’re more than happy to rub shoulders with David Cameron too, should he be interested.
