Here, in his latest monthly column reflecting on the news over the past month, our Press and PR Executive Robin Johnson looks at the headlines.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone once said to me that there must be a huge magnet buried somewhere underneath Derby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry, there isn\u2019t. They were actually making the point that out of the people who do leave the city for whatever reason (work, education, family etc) \u2013 many gravitate back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m one of them. Three years studying for a degree in London wasn\u2019t enough to turn my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came back to Derby and wanted to work for my local paper \u2013 which I eventually did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it was a real privilege when working for the Derby Telegraph to report on the city and county\u2019s business community \u2013 and to continue to do so now through my work with Marketing Derby<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, I always look forward to the announcement of the King\u2019s Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formerly the Queen\u2019s Awards, they are basically the most prestigious accolade a business can win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May, the latest winners were announced \u2013 and I was delighted to see three Marketing Derby Bondholders on that list \u2013 Midland Lead<\/a>, HSG UK<\/a> and Whitehouse Construction<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
