A Canterbury Innovations Centre business, Nova IT Solutions had more than one reason to celebrate the start of 2012 in January. In addition to moving a to a larger office at their Canterbury site in Kent, Roland Nowak received exciting news from the British Computer Society (BCS), The Chartered Institute for IT, who confirmed he has been upgraded from a Professional Member (MBCS) to the significant status of Fellow (FBCS) http://wam.bcs.org/wam/memberdirectory.aspx?letter=N&grade=FBCS

‘The grade of Fellowship comprises the most senior and respected professionals in the field of IT’ and reflects the up-to-date expertise, knowledge and training skills that Roland brings on a daily basis to Nova IT Solutions clients and staff, as well as a consultant to schools and charities.

Roland had to meet stringent criteria covering Eminence (recognition and acknowledgement in the IT field), Authority (recognised and respected for knowledge and expertise) and Seniority prerequisite. Support of the award by two other acknowledged IT professionals was also a necessary requirement. Passing these criteria then led to an invitation to attend an intense interview held with two distinguished Chartered Fellow members covering additional technical and IT related management questions, before being achieving the honor of being awarded Fellowship.

For those who may not know, The Institute fosters links between experts from industry, academia and business to promote new thinking, education and knowledge sharing.  The Institute collaborates with government, industry and relevant bodies to establish good working practices, codes of conduct, skills frameworks and common standards. It also offers a range of consultancy services to employers to help them adopt best practice. To be awarded a Fellowship recognises an industry expert and promotes shared knowledge both within and outside an organisation.

A huge thank you is extended to all those who took part in the Wear It Pink day on 28th October where we raised £145.00 for the Breast Cancer Campaign.  Much appreciated.

Roll on December …………………………………….

A very WARM welcome to our new licensees.

On behalf of the of all at the Canterbury Innovation Centre warmest congratulations go to the People Unit team

(Unit 77) for their well deserved award.

At the first ever Culture Awards held at Augustine House in Canterbury on 16th June 2011, People United were awarded the Community Award for their year-long project in Herne Bay: We All Do Good Things.  The Community Award, presented by Canterbury City Council, was for “an organisation, group or individual who delivered an excellent community project that has responded successfully to the needs of the district’s communities”.

They were delighted to be nominated but then to actually win the category was a real testament to the work of their small team.  Over 6,000 Herne Bay residents actively participated in the project telling their stories of kindness and generosity at over 90 free creative workshops and events.  The impact of the project has been the emergence of groups that have been inspired by the idea of helping others such as a Community Action Group of young people aged 11 – 18 years who want to make a positive difference in Herne Bay and of course the Giant Picnic is going to happen again but this time organised by Herne Bay in Bloom and other local partners.
