We are always pleased to work with new clients, and our latest, JEOL, is no exception.

Good Call Media is to partner with the company on a project designed to look in detail at their work in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers and our first assignment was to visit the recent Euromar 2017 Congress in Warsaw, Poland, where JEOL was a sponsor. We will also be filming at their facility in Japan as part of the project.

Our first short video with the company highlighted JEOL’s presence at Euromar and was used by the company on their Linked In site for JEOL Europe.

JEOL EUROPE – EUROMAR 2017 from JEOL EUROPE on Vimeo.

EUROMAR2017 gathered almost 550 participants, who met to exchange knowledge and the results of scientific research in the field of magnetic resonance, ranging from physics and chemistry to biology and medicine.

JEOL’s NMR products are high quality and selling in Europe.

JEOL is a leading supplier of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers, mass spectrometers, scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), transmission electron microscopes (TEMs), scanning probe microscopes (SPMs), and semiconductor tools for scientific and industrial purposes. Providing applications-specific solutions that advance their customers’ diverse objectives — from routine analysis of organic and inorganic specimens to breakthroughs in nanotechnological development.

Nik Wood of Good Call Media, said:”JEOL is an amazing company with roots in the excellence of Japanese technology but is now very much a player in Europe and the rest of the world and our job will be to work closely with them to illustrate the work of their NMR team and the products they produce and sell.” Our work with JEOL is going to involve interviewing some of their best customers throughout Europe including several academic institutions who have decided to invest in JEOL equipment.

The Euromar event gave us the chance to meet with JEOL’s personnel from all around the world and we will also be visiting the JEOL facility in Tokyo, Japan to show the level of engineering excellence involved in producing NMR products – a skill that dates back almost sixty years.

Mark Garnier MP – Export Award Sponsor

The video featured an interview with Mark Garnier MP, the Parliamentary Under Secretary for State in the Department For International Trade who sponsored this year’s Export Award.

“We know that companies that export are three times more profitable, seven times more resilient to economic shocks and they are our greatest calling card when we do business the world over”, he said.

The Awards dinner

The event is two events in one day. The day begins at the Merseyside Maritime Museum at the Albert Dock, Liverpool, with 8 mini – conference sessions focusing on specific manufacturing sectors. The conferences aim to update manufacturers operating in the specific sectors bringing them the latest information about futuristic developments that will impact on manufacturers in the near future.

The second event is the Awards dinner itself which is attended by hundreds of manufacturers and their clients. It’s the third year in a row that Good Call Media has been chosen to make the opening video. We also work closely with Insider Media Group on other events including the Yorkshire Property Industry Awards, the Made in Sheffield Awards and the Made in the Midlands Awards.

Filming is underway for this year’s prestigious Made in the UK 2017 Awards.

We are busy touring the UK, visiting companies that were successful in last year’s awards and the sponsors of this year’s event, reflecting the very best of UK manufacturing.

And it’s not only the companies that are being featured – the Awards also celebrate the best of people training and development with recognition of apprenticeship schemes that ensure skilled jobs are available for young people entering engineering and manufacturing.

The 2017 Made in the UK event is the fourth year that this manufacturing awards dinner is being held. It is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 22nd June 2017.

It takes place at the Titanic Hotel on the waterfront, Liverpool during the evening of Thursday, 22nd June 2017. This event is the national final where the winners from 10 regional Made in events come together to see who the overall national winners will be. The regional events take place in Yorkshire, the North West, Ireland, Midlands, South East, Wales etc.

Watch out for the video after the event takes place – we are expecting all of the winners to repeat the film on Facebook, Twitter, Linked In and other social media outlets to share with their workforce and customers the news that they have been named the best in class in this year’s Made in the UK Awards.

The iconic Merrion Centre in Leeds is undergoing a major redevelopment and the project has been hailed a Game Changer by the judges of the recent Yorkshire Property Awards.

In the latest of our dynamic Game Changer videos, which were shown at the Awards, the work to transform part of the Merrion Centre and establish a new HQ for Leeds City Council, was highlighted as the reason for winning.

Town Centre Securities, the owners of the centre, were presented with the award in recognition of the transformation that has taken place in and around Leeds’s longest established shopping centre.

Members of the Town Centre Securities team receive the Award.

The Yorkshire Property Awards, which this year celebrated its 20th anniversary, are held in order to celebrate the achievements and efforts of Yorkshire’s commercial property sector. The event also raises money and is hosted by Variety, the children’s charity.

The Merrion Centre was picked out by the judges, due to the large scale and success of the work that has taken place across the Merrion Centre, including the new ibis Styles Leeds City Centre Arena Hotel and transformation of Merrion Way and Wade Lane.

The redevelopment will transform parts of the Centre.

Bruce Lightbody of Addleshaw Goodard, who was part of the judging panel, said: “The transformation that has taken place across this site has been truly remarkable. What was an original 1960’s shopping centre is now a four-sided island site, operating at virtually full occupancy. This area of Leeds has been completely regenerated, enabling premium residential rental levels to be achieved and opening up the Arena Quarter as a major regional destination scheme with its own Marco Pierre White’s restaurant and bar!”

The centre team have been undertaking a successful programme of bringing in new tenants to expand the shopping, leisure and dining offering within the footprint, as well as the impressive bars, restaurants and additional leisure venues that cater for the crowds visiting the First Direct Arena.

Most recently, the area has welcomed the opening of the new Ibis Styles Hotel and Marco Pierre White’s restaurant and bar in the city. The work by the team has proved successful as the centre welcomed a record number of approaching 12m visitors in 2016.

The Leeds Arena has boosted interest in the neighbouring Merrion Centre.

Edward Ziff, Chairman and Chief Executive of Town Centre Securities, owner of the Merrion Centre, said: “We could not be prouder to win this game changer award, and be recognised by other businesses in the region for the results of our hard work. The Merrion Centre is a key part of the Leeds property landscape, and we have ensured that we continue to make it a key destination for residents and visitors by updating and adding to our strong offering.

“The last few months have seen us welcome some great new brands, with a number of our new additions telling us we were the clear choice for them when looking for their first location in Leeds. We’re not stopping here and have some every exciting plans to keep expanding our offering and ensuring the Merrion Centre offers something for everyone.”

The video is an example of our growing profile and expertise in the UK and international property market.

Verdion recently announced the second phase of construction of iPort, its £500m, 337 acre logistics park, which connects to the region and wider UK via a Strategic Rail Freight Terminal.
