Why the FA?

The Football Association (FA) is undoubtedly the largest business in North West London, and Wembley Stadium is perhaps the most famous building in the city. Over the past decade, Slenky has had the privilege of collaborating with both the FA and Wembley Stadium.

“We’ve partnered with Slenky as they embrace new technology…”

Last week, Slenky unveiled the ‘Take Your Shot Zone’ in collaboration with the ‘Brent Works Wembley Job Fair’ at Wembley Stadium.

Our aim was to modernise the traditional careers event by transitioning it to a more accessible and sustainable digital format, allowing opportunity seekers to use their mobile devices to connect with employers and businesses offering opportunities.

We also unveiled the latest upgrades to the Slenky platform and app.

I recently posted about a Guardian article with some really interesting insights provided by Dr Vivek Murthy. ‘Social media is like driving with no speed limits’: the US surgeon general fighting for youngsters’ happiness. I agree with this guy so much. But…

The plaudits have been flying around since we launched Take Your Shot Studios in Wembley Park.  But the genesis of this innovative co-working space came from time spent in Birmingham, working and exchanging ideas with Izzes Gayle.  Thank you Izzes.

Travelling daily to Wembley Park from as far away as Croydon, Walthamstow and Hastings (yes Hastings), at the time of writing this note, Slenky’s partnership with Brent Council and Ultra Education, ‘Take Your Shot Studios’, is already home to 32 enterprises.

I stumbled online a couple of days ago, following a link to Liverpool’s transfer activity, and landed on the 'Daily Un-Woke website (not the tabloid’s real name, but no free publicity).
