4020 | Melksham Community - Annual Report / MCAP This evening's MCAP (Melksham Community Area Partnership) AGM was well attended - good to see a couple of new faces - sad that there weren't certain groups (youth, traders) represented there (as far as I could tell), as there's so much that MCAP could do for them, and so much they could do for the town.
It's ... | 2013-02-27 |
58 | Call Centres, selling, and a pause for thought Have you noticed that telephone calls you "have to" make to renew a service are now being taken as an opportunity to sell to you?

3677 | Some advise for guest speakers at meetings I "get around" in various roles I hold - to SCOB meetings (to do with the Melksham Campus), to rail meetings (to do with better rail services in Wiltshire).

3317 | Self Portrait (in words) I've written a profile of myself [Graham Ellis], and of Well House Consultants (which I set up in 1995, and run with my wife Lisa), before. But that's been with a slant towards our business, rather than towards myself and other involvements which are wider than our business.
Lisa and I moved to Melksham ... | 2011-06-04 (longer) |

2271 | Dogs Trust, Dog Show, Newbury
We were invited back to the dog show open day at The Dog's Trust near Newbury, from where we adopted Gypsy a few months ago.
