Frankham Consultancy Group Limited is pleased to announce that Steve Frankham, Chairman, has been awarded an MBE in the 2017 Queen’s Birthday Honours list for services to the community. The award was made in recognition of Steve’s unwavering commitment to supporting diversity and inclusion amongst his staff and through his charitable work to aid young people, adults and those with disabilities. Steve’s charity work stems from his personal understanding of children with special needs. Steve, having established the Frankham Consultancy Group in 1984, a diverse organisation with over 150 staff, helped to provide a platform to further his charitable and community work. Steve’s aim was always to be an equal and diverse employer with an emphasis on people and innovation. This is still highlighted today in the company’s strap line “bringing ideas to life”. By using his influence in business and the community Steve realised how this could help raise awareness for children and adults with disabilities and special needs. Since the inception of the charity it has gone from strength to strength. The charity has pledged to purchase 100 mini buses for schools and organisations that are in need of transportation. So far The Trust has donated 15 mini buses to local schools and various organisations to transport disabled children & adults. The Charity has also raised over £1.2m and more importantly it has raised awareness amongst local businesses to support these worthy causes. Speaking about his award, Steve said: “I am absolutely delighted to have been awarded an MBE. Being recognised for something that you are passionate about is very humbling, however, none of this would be possible without a wonderful team of individuals who have worked so hard over many years supporting my vision to help those less fortunate than ourselves. “I feel very honoured to have received this recognition and hope that it will help bring to people’s attention the real need for us all to do our best by supporting those who are often forgotten in today’s society and to help create real change in the lives we touch”
Gateway Casinos and Entertainment have signed a letter of intent to become a part of the True North Strong development on the Kingsway and plan to build a 60 million dollar facility on the property. Gateway took over the northern bundle of casinos on May 30th and now plan to build a premier casino and entertainment property at the location. Sudbury developer Dario Zulich took a leap forward in his plan to build a sports and entertainment district on the Kingsway on Tuesday, as Gateway Casinos & Entertainment announced it had signed a letter of intent with the True North Strong group to become part of the proposed development. The new operator for casinos across Northern Ontario wants to build a ‘premier casino and entertainment property’ on the proposed True North Strong development. In a media release issued on Tuesday, Gateway Casinos and Entertainment said it has signed a letter of intent with True North Strong to build a casino. “Gateway Casinos and Entertainment Limited is the leading gaming and entertainment operator in Canada,” said Zulich, True North Strong president. “We believe that when combined with a new event centre and hotel/convention space, this new, full-service, upscale casino will be a valuable and exciting addition that will complete a multi-faceted regional entertainment district.” In Sudbury, it will be possible to play all jackpots online keno In addition to the long-term investment, the project will result in approximately 700 person-years of construction employment. “Gateway is very excited to take this important step forward in bringing a major investment and up to 250 new jobs to Greater Sudbury,” said Keith Andrews, Gateway vice president and managing director of Ontario operations. “The True North Strong proposal envisions creating a vibrant regional entertainment district. A Gateway property in the district is a perfect complement to this dynamic development.” “It’s been a lot of hard work to see things come together, but they are coming together and it’s exciting to see the potential for a regional entertainment district for northeastern Ontario,” said Andrew Dale, Sudbury Wolves Sports and Entertainment. Construction will begin once all necessary approvals are complete, including municipal consent. “I think this is a game changer for the City of Greater Sudbury and really, it’s a sign to the rest of the province and the rest of the country that Sudbury is booming,” said Robert Kirwin, a Sudbury city councillor.
