Visit to Nissan Manufacturing UK factory in Sunderland

Join us for a tour of one of the most productive car plants in Europe.

We are delighted to announce that Nissan Manufacturing UK (NMUK) has kindly agreed to again host a tour of its car manufacturing plant in Sunderland.

Event information

The NMUK plant was opened in 1986 and became the sole supplier of the Nissan Bluebird to the UK market. Ongoing development has brought Britain’s largest car plant to today’s impressive employment figure of circa 7,000 people and the fastest in UK Automotive history to reach the three million mark with one model, the Nissan Qashqai.

During a full tour of the site, we will get the chance to visit the Press Shop where steel panels are pressed with over 5,000 tonnes of force, the Body Shop which is home to over 1,000 robots and Final Assembly where around 3,000 parts are fitted to the car body.

The visit at its plant just off the A19 on Washington Rd, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear SR5 3NS, will comprise a short introductory session followed by the tour at 5pm. As the tour will involve walking up to 3 miles, it is physically demanding. Anyone who has a heart pacemaker fitted cannot take the tour.

Northern Society of Chartered Accountants

TV comedy writer John Lloyd CBE to speak at Northern Society of Chartered Accountants Business and Awards Dinner

John is an English television producer and writer best known for his work on such comedy television programmes as Not the Nine O’Clock News, Spitting Image, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Blackadder and QI.

He is currently the presenter of BBC Radio 4’s The Museum of Curiosity, a spin-off of QI.

He worked as a radio producer at the BBC between 1974 and 1978 and created The News Quiz, The News Huddlines, To The Manor Born (with Peter Spence) and Quote… Unquote (with Nigel Rees). He wrote Hordes of the Things (as J. H. W. Lloyd) with Andrew Marshall, co-authored two episodes of Doctor Snuggles with Douglas Adams, and went on to co-write the fifth and sixth episodes of the first radio series of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with Adams (Douglas Adams wrote all the previous and subsequent episodes solo, as well as the television adaptation – though Lloyd was involved in the TV series as associate producer). He also produced The Burkiss Way.

John then worked as a TV producer at both the BBC and ITV 1979–1989, where he created Not the Nine O’Clock News (with Sean Hardie) and Spitting Image (with Peter Fluck and Roger Law). He also produced all four Blackadder series.

He was originally to have been the host of BBC topical news quiz Have I Got News For You, with the programme initially intended to be called John Lloyd’s Newsround. A pilot episode of the show was recorded under this name in mid-1990, with John hosting alongside team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton. He subsequently decided to pull out of hosting the programme full-time and the pilot episode was never broadcast. John was replaced by Angus Deayton as host and the show was renamed Have I Got News for You in time for its debut on BBC2 later that year.

John was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2011 New Year Honours for services to broadcasting.

TGT-head-and-shouldersIn Seoul in 1988, Tanni represented Great Britain and won her first Paralympic medal, the 400m bronze.

The same year, she won her first of six London Wheelchair Marathons. Tanni won the 800 metres gold in the 1996 Atlanta Paralympics along with three silver medals in the 100, 200 and 400 metres. At the 2000 Sydney Paralympics, 31 year old Tanni returned with a vengeance, striking gold a fabulous four times in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 metres. In Athens 2004, aged 35, she takes first place in the 100 and 400 metres bringing her Paralympic gold medal tally to an astonishing eleven.

Her total Paralympic Medal tally is 11 gold, 4 silvers and 1 bronze.

In 2010 Tanni was appointed to the House of Lords, where she serves as a non party political crossbench peer. Tanni took the title Baroness Grey-Thompson of Eaglescliffe in the County of Durham. Tanni is a working peer and hopes to use her experience and knowledge to great effect in debates in the House. She has most recently contributed in the Welfare Reform and Legal Aid Bill.

Nick is the host of Channel 4’s Countdown and Lord Sugar’s right-hand man on BBC’s The Apprentice. His facial expressions, borne of wonderfully dry wit and a lifetime’s business experience, tell you exactly what he thinks of the contestants.
