We may be slightly behind the curve on this latest social media trend …

That's because our team has been busy doing the real thing!

Sea Axe has been mobilised again, we’ve secured further blast containment projects across various sectors, received a fresh wave of enquiries for our conveyors – including shaftless screw and dual-drive systems, and we’re delivering multiple quick-turnaround fabrication and engineering jobs.

So here goes with a bit of Friday fun - meet our model professional!

Have a great weekend!

From expert insight into the Chancellor’s Spring Statement and the impact of inheritance tax changes on the agri sector, to the pressures facing Scotland’s small businesses, Engage has had a great week supporting a number of projects with MHA.

We’re proud to be part of MHA’s ongoing journey… Now, for tomorrow.

Time for herself in the morning, daily walks and even piano singsongs with her daughter, Dr Louise Slaney’s routines combine to boost her physical and mental wellbeing. 🛌🏼🚶🏼‍♀️‍➡️🎤

Dr Slaney’s daily health habits were showcased in the The Press and Journal this weekend – in print and online - as part of the newspaper’s HEALTH Ask the Expert – platform.

The medical director for International Medical Management (IMM) spoke of the importance of preventative measures to bring sustainable health for the future.

Could the North Sea’s transient workforce be lost for good unless pace is picked up on the energy transition?

Insights on this topic came from MHA Accountants' Mark Brown and Michael Meakin-Blackwell, who raised concerns that workers could be lured abroad by opportunities unless real momentum is gained this year.

Mark, a partner in MHA’s Aberdeen office, said: “There is a high risk of losing experienced personnel if the jobs just aren’t there. If this does not happen quickly enough, we are in danger of losing what is already a very transient workforce.

“They will go to where the opportunities are, where the money is, particularly the younger workforce whose skills will be key to the energy transition. Once they go abroad, they might never come back.”

Engage was delighted to support this project, which was covered by national and regional media as well as financial and global energy trade press.

PERSONALITY = INTERESTING
INTERESTING = CARE
CARE = TALK

What a business marketing tool!💡

This boils down to something called Minimum Viable Personality. In a nutshell, it’s about getting your personality out there… focusing on the core values, authentic voice and true differentials of your business.

This was one of many nuggets to come out of the sold-out Tayside Transform Business Festival, delivered by Business GatewayTayside and Elevator.

Part of the coveted line up was Cally Russell, chief executive and co-founder of This Is Unfolded. He hailed the impact of Fred Wilson’s Minimum Viable Personality theory and spoke of being the only person to have turned down investment on Dragon’s Den twice… becoming known on Twitter as ‘the Dragon’s Den idiot’!

This Is Unfolded is anti-fast fashion, creating affordable, sustainable clothes and cuts the waste from production. It then reinvests the savings back into the communities creating the clothes. Can you believe that 30% of clothes made every year will never be sold!?

The event, held at Carnoustie Golf Hotel and Spa, also included networking, bitesize sessions, and fireside chats on everything from social good, agritourism, handling conflict, finding finance and succession planning.

In one session, Karen Clark, project manager at Elevator, highlighted the programmes on offer across Scotland – from Shell LiveWIRE, Rural Leadership and the Elevator Challenge.

Lynn Sayer, CCO of Montrose Port Authority, raised exclamations of ‘wow’ from the audience when showcasing the amazing work ongoing there. It’s a true success story, with grand plans in energy and renewables, as well as innovative solutions around decarbonisation and skills training.

Campbell Archibald, co-owner of businesses including Angus Alchemy, spoke of his career journey from gas turbine jet engines to jet fuel – a reference to his moonshine and gin distillery, as well as all the lessons learned along the way.

An inspirational event with deep insights, fantastic speakers, great coffee, and some real, tangible business takeaways. 👏

Brands love an awareness day.

They’re a great way to piggyback on to a campaign, using it to promote products and services, showcase CSR credentials with charity events or to spread vital information far and wide to varying audiences.

So, when we knew so-called Blue Monday – dubbed the most depressing day of the year – was approaching, we wanted to come up with something a little different.

Our client International Medical Management (IMM) was the perfect fit, offering an extensive range of occupational health services that can make a difference to the health, wellbeing and productivity of employees on and offshore.

And so, we knew we wanted to flip the switch on Monday, reclaiming it as , a day of positivity and optimism.

Firstly, we needed a logo that covered the bases... the name of the newly created IMM awareness day, an upbeat graphic to illustrate, the key info, tagline and company logo.

The campaign strategy was established which incorporated a teaser LinkedIn post, fuller post detailing the idea, a press release and, of course, a post featuring pictures of the IMM team enjoying .

Great fun was had working with our client on this project and there was no time to dwell on any January blues... we’re so pleased to have ‘flipped the switch’ with you, IMM 😊

We are delighted to have linked up with PerfectHygiene to help us raise awareness of urological cancers.

Their ‘Wee Can’ campaign includes the provision of bins that allows for the discreet disposal of male incontinence products. These products can be used for those living with urological conditions, helping to reduce the stigma around these.

Steve Kennedy, Managing Director at PerfectHygiene, said: “We want to help break down barriers. As it stands, affected men may not have facilities to use and may be impacted by the stigma of anyone knowing they have an issue. Or they might just feel uncomfortable in public settings and make the decision to go home instead. These bins offer practical solutions and complete discretion.

“Working with UCAN felt like a natural partnership, and we’re delighted to support their mission in the north of Scotland.”

The first to get on board with the campaign is Aberdeen Football Club, which is adding the bins to its Pittodrie facilities.

The campaign is also endorsed by Jim Leighton, legendary former Aberdeen FC and Scotland goalkeeper, who has first-hand experience of a prostate cancer diagnosis.

He said: “Wee Can" is a brilliant initiative that will make a big difference to men.
"I want to do all I can to help other men in this situation and supporting the Wee Can campaign is a great way of doing that. Addressing the stigma is hugely important, especially for men who tend not to speak about these things. I have come through this; I am not speaking anyone else's words; these are my own words, and this is my own experience."

PerfectHygiene, based at Blackburn, near Aberdeen, provides washroom services and hygiene material provisions such as dispensers, hand sanitisers, air fresheners, hygiene bins and waste management services to a variety of clients across multiple sectors.

Customers will be able to order the supply and servicing of Wee Can bins for cubicles in male toilets.

For every contract agreed, PerfectHygiene will make a donation to UCAN's current appeal, The Rapid Diagnostic Centre, you can find out more about the appeal on our website https://www.ucanaberdeen.com/rdcappeal/

It’s not every day an Olympian gives you business advice ... and a shot of his prized medal!

It was an absolute pleasure to meet Olympic medal winner Joel Fearon, who competed at both athletics and bobsleigh, at an event hosted by The Royal Bank of Scotland.

Held at Dundee Contemporary Arts (DCA), this was an opportunity for attendees to gain valuable insight into the very distinct journeys of the speaking panel.

Joel told of his dedication to sport and how it can be applied to all walks of life ... business included.

Now retired, in 2016, Joel became the seventh Brit to run 100m in under 10 seconds and was awarded his bronze medal for bobsleigh in Sochi 2014. He now runs two businesses and coaches athletes.

He said: “Goal setting is just as important in sport and business. I had to stay dedicated. Every day I asked myself, ‘will my actions make me faster?’ Every dinner I ate, every extra step I took. By making these decisions every single day, I knew I’d get closer to my goal and achieve what I wanted to achieve. For me, knowledge is power. On the starting line I wanted to be the most knowledgeable person – the one who had prepared the best.”

The panel, also made up of tech entrepreneur Chris van der Kuyl CBE, celebrity barber Exauce Imbo, known as Ex the Barber, and Mandy Bailey, regional eco-system manager – Scotland, RBS, were interviewed by Capital Radio presenter Katy Johnston.

Chris is most notably co-founder and chairman of 4J Studios Ltd, a video game development studio. He said: “I would advise you to always reflect - you can learn from success and failure. Don’t make your goals too complex. We always focused on simply making the best game possible. Defining your goals is one of the biggest challenges a leader will face.”

A fascinating event with great insight from all involved. Do we have to give the Olympic medal back, though? 🥉
