The Big Blog

Well, I’ve done it again, what started out as an innocent weekend away became another opportunity for me to marvel about the wonders of public transport in Britain.  And to tell all and sundry about it of course… 
I went to the picturesque Matlock Bath (am I sounding like a tourist guide yet?) with my partner where […]

It’s been so busy here at Big Wheel HQ that I’ve barely had time to think, let alone update the blog!
Now that’s it’s June we’re officially busy.  Tomorrow is World Environment Day, and of course we couldn’t let it pass without a celebration, so we’ve organised a special event for the businesses at Lenton Lane […]

Well, I think the title says it all, this past week’s been all go at Big Wheel HQ, as we rushed around organising the hugely successful GNTP Forum.  Star speaker Greg Nugent of Eurostar had us all on tenterhooks, waiting to hear if his plane from Thailand had arrived on time, luckily he had the […]

Well it’s back to Katie blogging, was nice to hear a few thoughts from Richard during his time here.
I’ve realised that since joining The Big Wheel team I’ve turned into a bit of a transport geek.  So far I’ve restrained myself from any full-on trainspotting activities, but considering I’ve only been here 2 months it’s […]

Hi!  Its Richard again, a temporary Big Wheeler.   Recently, I went on a tram ride from one end of the line to the other and I thought I would tell you what I thought… I got on the tram at old market square to go to Phoenix Park.  I found a seat by the window and […]

Hi!  It’s Richard here at the Big Wheel, on work experience.  I am currently on my fourth day here and have really enjoyed it so far.  Helen, Katie and Kay are so welcoming and I feel that I have fitted in extremely well with The Big Wheel life! 
 
Before I came, I thought that all […]

Well, it’s been all go here at the Big Wheel offices, this is the first chance I’ve had to sit down and add to the blog this week.  The exciting news is that the Big Wheel will be part of a world record attempt!  On March 8th we’ll be heading to Nottingham Castle dressed as […]

Last Saturday I experienced a taste of the high life, when I was a VIP at Notts County Football Club for their match against Grimsby.  The Big Wheel were the match day sponsors, and so I had to endure a delicious three course meal in the company of my Big Wheel colleagues and our Big Day Out […]

January has seen lots of changes at the Big Wheel, not least the appointment of our new Marketing Assistant - Katie Saxon.  We’re really pleased to be able to welcome Katie to the team and she’s already doing sterling work helping with the planning of our 2008/2009 year.  
 We’ve got lots of things in the pipeline […]

Yupp, it’s definitely one of the more unusual things that we’ve had our furry mascot do - our adventurous marsupial took his first steps/slides on Nottingham’s open air ice rink at the weekend.    It was all good fun …our kanga was there to encourage people going to the ice rink to think about traveling into Nottingham […]
