The creation of Newark s International Air & Space Training Institute (IASTI) will represent the fulfilment of a 40-year industry ambition held by one of its architects, Simon Witts, of Aviation 360.

For the avoidance of doubt, the headline refers to Freddie the newest member of the Lincoln College Group (LCG) team and self-evidently not the author!
Freddie is indeed gorgeous and he has an important and serious role to play as our therapy dog, working with our students and staff as part of our health and wellbeing strategy and plan.
I am increasingly using the triple bottom line (TBL) theory to guide the way I think about business in my day-job and through my roles with the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership and the Institute of Directors. For those not familiar with it, TBL is an accounting framework with three parts: social, environmental and financial or my preferred version which is people, planet and profits.
