Things we've done
Find out what we've been up to in Tees Valley...Official launch!
As some of you may know we did launch the campaign with our ‘Walk of Fame’ back in November when we first arrived but it was a fantastic treat for us to be officially launched by Secretary of State for BERR John Hutton in conjunction with a visit to Middlesbrough Football Club’s Enterprise Academy.
Mr Hutton met three of our ambassadors who joined up with us when we first launched the campaign and told him how they got started in business. He also met the rest of our Tees Valley team and was very interested in what the campaign's ambition is for the area.
Above: Mr Hutton with (from left to right) Rachel Powell, an ethical fashion designer from Middlesbrough and a Make Your Mark in Tees Valley ambassador, Harry Rich CEO of Make Your Mark, Mike Kirby from Twisted Studio, Vera Baird MP for Redcar and Cleveland, and Jeremiah Alexander from Babel Digital.

Make Your Mark with a Ball does bungee!
Make Your Mark with a Ball was all about raising funds for Sport Relief and our very own PR and Communications Coordinator, Katy Tindall, decided to practice what she preached and get involved!
She used a ball to raise cash by bungee jumping from the Transporter Bridge in Middlesbrough dressed as a ball!
Check out the video!
