Autumn Update

Special Guest Author Day

We were pleased to welcome Lucy Daniel Raby to Talking Point on 15th October. Lucy is the author of Nickolai of the North and its sequel Nickolai’s Quest. These are two fantasy fiction books about the childhood of Santa Claus, the first of which is in the process of being made in to a film.
Lucy spent the day with children from local schools, talking about her journey in writing the books as well as giving readings and a signing session.
All involved had a fantastic day, adults and children alike!

Talking Point will soon have a long awaited sign. Operations Director, Claire Duggan has been working with local company Signs Express from Stockport to create the perfect exterior sign. ‘It has to be tasteful and stylish to reflect the interior of the building, but also eye catching to attract enquiries and new business.’ It’s been a long process but finally a design has been agreed and the new sign should be fitted during the first week in May.
The photograph is an artists impression of what the new sign will look like, please let us know your thoughts on the new sign.

NEW PRODUCTS
Over the coming week’s new signage, images and brochures will start to appear at Talking Point.

The new Talking Point brochure arrived in the Centre a couple of weeks ago and has been flying out the door. We have already had many requests from businesses and schools, and since these have been going out we’ve been having many enquiries and bookings for room space. Last week alone we took 50% more enquiries than the previous week.
‘We are starting to get very busy now and a lot of this business seems to be due to word of mouth, recommendations and the brochure. The brochure looks fantastic and we’re really pleased with it.’ Katie Greaves, Centre Manager.
Claire Duggan worked closely with designer Liz Dargan from Brand Creative to ensure the brochure had the right look and feel. ‘Liz was excellent in taking the brief and coming up with something contemporary and stylish. She recommended the photographer, Richard Moran and between them they have created a stunning piece of work that is very successful in selling the Centre’ Claire Duggan, Operations Director.
