Hi Everyone

i have had a letter from Business Link about an event that may be of interest to some of you - they are hosting a series of events in Hampshire including the 7th July at Basingstoke Country Hotel [ timings 4 - 8pm]  concerning winning public sector contracts - linked to the 2012 games.  The event is free and there is even a meal! [kerry obviously got her priorities - ]  Many of you are ‘consultants’ and this will be of interest.  To find out more information please call 0845 600 9006 www.businesslinkhampshire.co.uk/events

Possibly good news for Basingstoke folk - I’ve discovered that Sun Life Financial of Canada is to acquire the UK operations of Lincoln Financial for £195m, increasing its UK assets under management by 60% to more than GBP 10bn. Might mean an expansion of jobs in Basingstoke - could be worth getting in touch with them?

Also, De La Rue has won a £400m government contract to supply the new biometric passports over the next 10 years, so it could be worth getting in touch with them too (De La Rue, Jays Close, Viables, Basingstoke RG22 4BS; Tel 01256 605000; http://www.delarue.com )
