@NGinitiative
SURVIVED AND THRIVED
“The single most important reason that we continue
to thrive is that we’ve succeeded in diversifying our
income. Indeed, it is the strength of the support, in
cash and in kind, that we receive from all our
partners that underpins our resilience.”
Sarah Stewart, Chief Executive

“The quality, enthusiasm and commitment of
our staff has underpinned the organisation’s
success in recent years. Their hard work and
willingness to embrace change gives me
confidence that we can continue to overcome
the challenges that we will inevitable face and
will remain well placed to seize opportunities
as they arise.”
Sarah Stewart, Chief Executive
THE TEAM
#NGIAGM
@NGinitiative
OUR SOLUTION
“In April 2014, we established a wholly
owned trading company for emerging
business development opportunities,
called NGI Solutions Limited. This
provides us with a separate legal entity
and greater freedom to develop and
deliver projects distinct from our core
activity. NGI Solutions enables us to
use our existing skills and expertise to
secure exciting new projects and
valuable commercial income which is
reinvested in support of our ongoing
work to promote this great place we
call home.”
James Ealey,
Business Development Director

HITTING THE HEADLINES
@NGinitiative #NGIAGM
“For first-timers, the most surprising thing about Newcastle is its
architecture. Classic sandstone buildings similar to those seen in cities
like Bath and Edinburgh give the streets character and the skyline is
dominated by seven intricate bridges which criss-cross the Tyne.”
Lisa Hughes, Irish Daily Star
“The industrial gloom that hung over
Geordieland then has been replaced with
a dynamic bar and restaurant scene,
boutique hotels galore and an arts culture
to rival London.”
Rob Crossan, Sunday Mirror

“A number of prominent venues – including
Twickenham – were shortlisted to host the 2015
event and it gives me great pleasure to announce
that the Sage Gateshead has been selected.
Many congratulations to the Sage Gateshead
team, and to NewcastleGateshead Initiative, who
together produced an impressive bid. In the year
in which you will also host Rugby World Cup
2015, this provides another great opportunity to
put the North East front and centre, helping to
further raise the profile of this dynamic
destination.”
