@NGinitiative

SURVIVED AND THRIVED

“The single most important reason that we continue

to thrive is that we’ve succeeded in diversifying our

income. Indeed, it is the strength of the support, in

cash and in kind, that we receive from all our

partners that underpins our resilience.”

Sarah Stewart, Chief Executive

“The quality, enthusiasm and commitment of

our staff has underpinned the organisation’s

success in recent years. Their hard work and

willingness to embrace change gives me

confidence that we can continue to overcome

the challenges that we will inevitable face and

will remain well placed to seize opportunities

as they arise.”

Sarah Stewart, Chief Executive

THE TEAM

#NGIAGM

@NGinitiative

OUR SOLUTION

“In April 2014, we established a wholly

owned trading company for emerging

business development opportunities,

called NGI Solutions Limited. This

provides us with a separate legal entity

and greater freedom to develop and

deliver projects distinct from our core

activity. NGI Solutions enables us to

use our existing skills and expertise to

secure exciting new projects and

valuable commercial income which is

reinvested in support of our ongoing

work to promote this great place we

call home.”

James Ealey,

Business Development Director

HITTING THE HEADLINES

@NGinitiative #NGIAGM

“For first-timers, the most surprising thing about Newcastle is its

architecture. Classic sandstone buildings similar to those seen in cities

like Bath and Edinburgh give the streets character and the skyline is

dominated by seven intricate bridges which criss-cross the Tyne.”

Lisa Hughes, Irish Daily Star

“The industrial gloom that hung over

Geordieland then has been replaced with

a dynamic bar and restaurant scene,

boutique hotels galore and an arts culture

to rival London.”

Rob Crossan, Sunday Mirror

“A number of prominent venues – including

Twickenham – were shortlisted to host the 2015

event and it gives me great pleasure to announce

that the Sage Gateshead has been selected.

Many congratulations to the Sage Gateshead

team, and to NewcastleGateshead Initiative, who

together produced an impressive bid. In the year

in which you will also host Rugby World Cup

2015, this provides another great opportunity to

put the North East front and centre, helping to

further raise the profile of this dynamic

destination.”
