Last Thursday, our exceedingly well groomed creative team Mark & Paddy popped down the road to Rich Mix.

No, they weren't squeezing a cheeky movie moment into their lunch break, they were invited to take part in a panel discussion with other creative industry types at Artstart, an event held by non-profit organisation somewehereto_ for young people dreaming of embarking on a creative career. Having braved this perilous journey themselves, Arstart thought Mark & Paddy were the prefect people to give aspiring creatives a few tips on breaking into the industry. 

And here's a peek at them in action, dropping some serious knowledge on the audience (photo by our lovely young work experience lady, Leah).

somewehereto_ is a nationwide project helping young people find the space they need to do the things they love within sport, culture and the arts, aiming to help improve the lives of thousands of young people. Read more about their work here www.somewhereto.com

On this very morning, something big is happening in Watford. The first lucky shoppers are exploring Tesco's newly revamped Extra store (all 80,000 sq. ft. of it), which opened its shiny new doors to the public today. 

The brand new shopping and leisure destination is built around Tesco's ‘Food First’ philosophy, with a new fresh fruit and veg section and fresh counters. Not only that, but Watford Extra showcases the very latest in retail innovation, bringing new food concepts including Giraffe, Harris + Hoole, Euphorium and The Bakery Project together under one roof. 

Until you can pop over to Watford for a browse, Tesco invite you to take a spin around the new store via a Google Streetview virtual tour.

To read more about all the exciting new stuff Tesco have introduced in this store, including a community space that customers can use free of charge for events such as yoga and cookery classes, head over to the store's dedicated microsite.
