Visit the SGS Stand at Tech Expo Humber


The very first Tech Expo Humber will take place at the Bonus Arena on Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd October, with the mission to connect education and enterprise to create key skills for the future.

This exciting new event will unite tech, talent and enterprise in the Humber, bringing some of the biggest global tech giants to the city. This is in response to the Humber region witnessing unprecedented funding, with over £20bn of investments in the past decade, especially in the areas of cutting-edge technology and digital enterprise. By bringing together numerous companies and organisations that are changing the world through innovation, the expo looks to inspire students into technology and showcase the region’s many successes.

Jonny Winn is the 3D Production Lead at SGS The Maltings. His role entails managing the team and ensuring that everyone is working efficiently to deliver high- quality 3D imagery to a variety of clients. He’s also organising our company’s presence at Tech Expo Humber:

“SGS will be present to discuss the 3D work currently produced in The Maltings and in various other SGS CGI facilities across the globe,” says Jonny. “Our stand will include visual examples of the work produced and allow visitors to explore the imagery in more depth. We welcome any questions and hope to have a chat with many people over the two days.”

Our Maltings branch has several connections to the C4DI, the Centre for Digital Innovation at the heart of Hull’s recently redeveloped Fruit Market. We were approached by Antonio Tombanane, who gauged our interest and found that we were very eager to be part of this fantastic event. Three colleagues will be present on the stand across both days, showcasing SGS services and discussing the future of tech in the region.

“We’ll also have literature to take away, visual demonstrations and one-to-one talks with other industry professionals,” explains Jonny. “Our team are looking forward to discussing anything related to 3D CGI and the service we offer.”

We believe that this event is integral to Hull and the Humber’s continued expansion and progression in all areas of technology and its many applications. Jonny couldn’t agree more: “The region is highly recognised as an epicentre for digital business activity and innovation. It is therefore very important to stage an event to attract high volumes of individuals to our great city, increasing the awareness of Hull and its exemplary work being done in the digital landscape.”

Our colleagues at The Maltings are looking forward to being a part of this technology-fuelled event, as well as interacting with students and potential budding 3D professionals. On top of that, the team can’t wait to rub shoulders with other tech industries within the Humber region, and of course get the opportunity to meet Titan, the giant robot that has performed alongside Will Smith, Rihanna, Jackie Chan and Will.I.Am at events such as New York Fashion Week and the Sochi Winter Olympics.

As well as the stands, there are also all kinds of talks taking place on a huge range of topics, from environmental monitoring to the Girls Who Code movement. If you’re interested in seeing what it’s all about, book your tickets today through the Tech Expo Humber website.

Diadeis and Bridgehead Support Orphans in Mauritius

We’re very excited to share news about a wonderful collaborative project between Bridgehead and our Diadeis team. Together they’re helping to raise funds and make improvements to an orphanage in Mauritius that’s home to dozens of abandoned children. Laura Crosby and Vicky Skelton from Bridgehead and Daniel Deverell from The Maltings (both based in Hull) are currently working on secondments in our Diadeis office in Mauritius. Whilst there they heard about an organisation, SOS Children’s Villages, which was asking for 100 volunteers to help paint the homes in a local orphanage. There are two SOS Children's Villages in Mauritius that care for around 113 abandoned and parentless children; this project focused on the one in Beau Bassin, which was established in 1992. Designed with attractive Créole architecture and situated close to the Balfour Garden, it’s an excellent arrangement that consists of nine family houses with the capacity to accommodate around 150 c...

Apprentices Hand Over Donations to HHCP

SGS Packaging Europe has three busy offices in Hull, with a combined workforce of around 500 specialists. To reflect its commitment to high-quality training, in 2018 it launched its apprenticeship programme, presenting an exciting way to enter the industry and begin a fulfilling career. There are currently 16 apprentices working at SGS offices in The Maltings and Bridgehead Business Park. Alongside in-house training, one-to-one mentoring and regular development days, they have also been given ownership over a series of community projects taking place throughout 2019. Ranging from fundraising activities to hands-on community support, the four chosen charities benefitting from this are Hull Homeless Community Project (HHCP), Yorkshire Cancer Research, Hull and East Yorkshire Mind and Aaron’s Battle. Since early February, the SGS apprentices have been encouraging their colleagues to donate everyday items to collection bins that were placed in the canteens on bo...

Supporting Hull Homeless Community Project

Image
This year our apprentices in The Maltings and Bridgehead have chosen four charities that will benefit from fundraising activities, volunteering sessions and brand advocacy: Hull Homeless Community Project (HHCP), Yorkshire Cancer Research, Hull and East Yorkshire Mind and Aaron's Battle. The first community project for HHCP began on Monday 4th February, with the apprentices placing collection bins in the canteens and encouraging all of their colleagues to donate essential items. To make this easier for everyone, they recommended that fellow employees add one extra item to their basket or trolley each time they go shopping. This way it has minimal effect on the weight of the groceries and the total of the bill, yet it has an enormous positive impact to how the charity operates. These items will be used by HHCP as part of its Move On project, which helps individuals and families who have been victims of homelessness to transition into independent living. The HHCP team starts w...
