Richard Re-elected to Manchester Digital
Last night Richard Hudson was voted onto Manchester Digital council for the fourth year running.
Over the last few years Richard has been actively involved in developing the MD events programme and preparing for the rebuild of the MD website into an open, comprehensive and widely used resource connecting with all parts of our community.
Of his re-election Richard said, “It’s always an honour to be selected by members of the local digital community to represent them on the Manchester Digital council, and there are exciting times ahead.
However, there are many challenges facing the digital industry and we need to work together to raise the profile of our sector to put it more firmly under the spotlight. Last night’s AGM confirmed there is much willingness for people to get more involved in driving Manchester Digital forward, which is fantastic, as there is much work to be done. Being volunteer driven at the moment, we need as many people as possible to contribute to Manchester Digital to drive it to the next stage. With the BBC move North, continuing issues with standards/rogue traders and the skills shortage our industry faces, mainly caused by the lack of suitably qualified staff coming out of our colleges and universities, we can really make a difference by working together as one.”
Recently Richard was voted onto the board by other members of the council. The board is for people who are able to contribute more time to the running and direction of MD.
Manchester Digital is the independent trade association for the digital sector in the North West of England. Their vision is simple, ‘that by working together we can make Manchester and the North West an even better place for Digital Business’.
Their events programme brings members together to learn, network and share best practice. Manchester Digital’s annual Big Chip Awards celebrates the best digital companies and projects in the region.
Membership starts from just £25 per year for individuals and £50 for small businesses and is completely free for students learning to join the digital sector.
