Mini RCM Show @ British Gas Leicester
« on: October 06, 2010, 11:50:04 PM »
As a couple of you know, I work for British Gas at their Leicester Office.

Last week I did a small RCM event to raise awareness and hopefully get a couple of people to the open day....time will tell if that works or not  ;)

Some Pics below.

The event ran from about 10:00-14:30 and I had people playing, looking and asking questions for most of that time.

Went well over all  :)

Brilliant idea, Id love to have an event like that where I work, but I feel a shoe shop isn't the best place for it!

That said me and my manager are considering hooking up an N64 with Goldenye in the childrens dept for when we get there early!
