Recently I went on a bit of a tour of northern England with the purpose of meeting people and finding a city where I could start my business.

One place I went really captured me. Newcastle. The people are really friendly, the city is really bustling and there is a really good atmosphere there. Not only that but it is a really attractive city. Really! The buildings, and the Gateshead area are just gorgeous. I took a few photos while I was there, you can view them here.

I also met some great people in Newcastle who were very supportive and excited about what I am doing. They offered me a tonne of advice and have sparked several ideas and approaches to take which has been invaluable.

There are also a lot of business resources to draw help from. I have started collecting links to them here.

I am quite excited about the move. I am doing a little travelling over the next few months, but when I get back I will be moving up there, should be sometime in April.
