The Arbroath Seafest 2007 was a major success this year. A two day festival of the sea held in glorious sunshine. Visitors were up around 20%, takings up around 40%, stall holders and the public offered very positive feedback and are looking forward to bigger and better next year!

Why do I tell you this…well I wasn’t there!

For the the first time Activate delivered a major event that Sean (the owner / director) did not attend. Not needed, surplus to requirements, brilliant! Let’s have more events like this.

“I was actually there for a few hours on the Saturday morning lend my expertise to the team during what is usually the most difficult period of most events…the ironing out, fire fighting, fixing and challenge solving”.

On the Sunday my family and I went to Reekie Linn (Scotland’s Highest waterfall) and my eldest son (Ronan 9) and I (Sean 41) jumped off the rocks into the raging water whilst Lesley (better half age withheld!) videoed and Cara (darling daughter 7 on Sat 8th Sept) and Sam (the little guy 5) watched and hollered supportive comments like “Ooh” and “Mum, I’m hungry”.

We had a great family day oot which has been a rare occasion recently…hurrah for growing a business and building a team. Why did I not do this sooner?

The specialist team put together to deliver this event were hand picked by me for their particular skills and they performed with professionalism, class and poise throughout.

Great job and my thanks to all involved.
