Mainframe Newsletter - July 2021
Whilst we may not be able to meet in person in larger numbers at the moment, we've really enjoyed the recent 1-2-1 diagnostic sessions. It's been wonderful to meet more local creative people and hear the about their amazing businesses. There are more sessions coming up this month and we can't wait.
For those of you who make, create and craft, there is just one week left to apply for a stall at our upcoming Make & Trade Market. The response so far has been phenomenal and it's so inspiring to see the variety of craft produced locally.
CreativeMornings/Derby continues online for now (we're fingers crossed to be back in QUAD soon) and for those who need a creative boost in between events, you can now listen to the new podcast.

10 Years of Freelancing
In May 2021 I hit a decade of working as a creative Freelancer here in Derby. My hat off to all freelance business owners who’ve lurched into this milestone! (I don’t have an actual hat, but I’ve always liked the idea of it… A bowler maybe).
