CR PARROTT Consultants Ltd Sponsored the Chamber’s October Speed Networking and Lunch at Forest Pines Hotel and Golf Resort.
Managing Director Chris Parrott told delegates that business has not been without its challenges in the last few years, but his company has reinvented itself, launched a new website and embraced social media.
The company was showing off its new company branding and logo at the Northern Lincolnshire networking lunch. Mr Parrott said: “The key to success is to adapt and reinvent, not to stand still,” adding that he would not be here today without good business contacts.
CR Parrott Consultants Ltd offer a full architectural design and consultancy service, and do everything from finding suitable land, helping with Regional Growth Fund applications, grants, design and construction, all within a client’s agreed budget.
“I am very proud to say that we have built up CR Parrott to where it is today, we now have 20 staff, the latest 3D software, high quality graphics, and are available for commissions of any size!”
Mr Parrott revealed his company had been involved with projects at The Baths Hall in Scunthorpe and the new training Academy for BAE which has just opened at Humberside Airport, as well as other projects at Pattersons Glass and New Holland Extraction Ltd. In the Grimsby area the company is working on the Cartergate office development for North East Lincolnshire Council and Wilkin Chapman solicitors, and Auto-Trail’s £5-million expansion project on Europarc. They have also been involved with pre-development work on the Lincolnshire Lakes scheme at Scunthorpe, so it is all very positive news.
Mr Parrott urged local business to work together and support each other, and invited anyone who wanted to discuss possibilities to get in touch with him on (01724) 278155 or visit www.crparrott.co.uk.
Before the lunch, an inspirational young man, Andy Green, who is Courageous Citizen Diana Award Winner for 2015, gave a presentation about his charity Counting Hope.
Andy suffers from Cerebral Palsy and Type 1 Diabetes, but after holidaying in Sal Island, Cape Verde, off the coast of Africa, was inspired to help the people there to become independent and empower them to be self-sufficient.
Andy appealed for support for his charity and is asking people to donate teaching supplies to help the islanders uncover hidden opportunities so they can reach their full potential.
Andy can be contacted on 07762 026530, or by email andy.green@countinghope.org.
