We are proud to now be sponsoring Maddie Mae Chambers, goalkeeper and winger at Billingham Town FC Girls, for the 22/23 season.
Maddie transferred to the under 16’s Billingham Town FC Girls team a little over two years ago and has since qualified as a football coach.
Speaking with Maddie, she said: “I’ve played football since I was three and throughout the years it has always been the highlight of my day. So, I would love to follow football through into my adult life with my dream being to one day become an England lioness and leave an impression on woman’s football, just like the current lionesses have.
“After completing my FA Playmaker coaching course, I realised how little we are doing to get more girls into this fantastic sport.
“I’m currently studying in my final year at Trinity Catholic College and next year I will be attending their sixth form where I have enrolled in their T6 programme (sixth form football academy) where I can further my football ability, and hopefully support the younger generations coming through Trinity Catholic College.”
Maddie continued: “As this is my first season as full-time team captain, I’m looking forward to leading the girls into the 22/23 season in a sport we all love and enjoy. I’m determined to show all the hard work we have put in during pre-season, as well as the work of our manager Bekah and coach Tony will pay off.
“We will go out there week in and week out, giving it everything we have got to the best of our abilities and hopefully make history as well as memories. Teamwork makes the dream work”
We would like to wish Maddie and the rest of the team good luck for the season ahead, we are excited to see where your journey takes you.

Mixed Media Art Group
Thursday 16th June
Between 5pm and 7pm
The opening offers a great opportunity to meet the artists and ask any questions you may have about the work on display over drinks and nibbles.
Exhibition runs until Friday 8th July 2022
The MMAG met at the Palace Arts Gallery in Redcar, where they formed their original group called Happy Mondays. They became firm friends and formed an art family, meeting once a month to share ideas and enjoy being creative together. However, when Palace Arts closed down, the group were left without a meeting place, until The Heritage Gallery offered a space that they could continue their creativity and renamed themselves, quite fittingly, Mixed Media Art Group.
This exhibition promises to be a diverse and intriguing display, consisting of a selection of each of the artist’s eclectic visual responses.

Stan Davison was born in Dumbarton, Scotland in 1949, but both his mother and father were born in Hartlepool, where Stan has now lived most of his life on the Headland, after leaving Scotland at the age of 17. Stan is a self-taught artist with no art school training, but has been painting since he was in primary school.
He finds inspiration in the town’s people and places, but also depicts his own personal experiences to create dreamscapes that combine the real and surreal.
Stan says:
“A lot of my work is done from photographs and drawings, but it is put together to form dreamscapes – it is both reality and the surreal.
Many of the paintings are a portrayal of my life and are influenced by chapters and incidents from it.”
Stan is inspired by the ‘Old Masters’ like Velazquez and Caravaggio and elements of their work are captured within his paintings.

With three office buildings in our portfolio based in Middlesbrough, it’s clear to see we’re big supporters of our home region in the wonderful area of Tees Valley.
Our office space in Cargo Fleet, Boho Zero and The Co-operative Buildings is equipped with art galleries, bistros and state of the art refurbishments with suites that can be designed bespoke to your needs. But, if you need a little more convincing of why you should base your business in the Boro, we’ve got a few good reasons to tell you.
Enhanced opportunities
Not only is Tees Valley now becoming the home of Treasury North, but Teesside is also getting its very own Freeport – which is huge news for the region. Spanning a huge 4,500 acres, the Freeport is set to be the largest in the UK and is situated very near to our Boho Zero and Cargo Fleet Offices.
Freeports can enhance trade and investment across the UK, boost growth and the number of high-skilled jobs and increase innovation in port regions. Research found that the Freeport within the Tees Valley, could create up to 32,000 jobs and add £2billion to the regional economy.
It’s highly likely that many well-known businesses will soon flock to the region, this in turn will create new opportunities for local businesses to connect with big brands, including enhanced tender and bid openings.
Leading the way in sustainable business
The Net Zero Teesside project aims to become the UK’s first zero-carbon industrial cluster, hoping to decarbonise a collection of carbon-intensive businesses by as early as 2030.
Many organisations are switching to a more sustainable way of working, if you’d like your business to be one of them, basing your company in a future green economy is the way to go and Middlesbrough is right at the heart of it.
Hubs for digital and creative
Well known for its ability to enable startups to thrive, the BOHO Zone of Middlesbrough has fast become a digital hub for creative businesses, now joined by our very own Boho Zero – the latest renovation in our commitment to regeneration.
Already home to businesses such as Viral Effect, Boho Zero is perfect for those who want to be at the centre of this exciting area that has already been quoted as ‘Middlesbrough’s Silicone Valley’.
Great transport links
With a train that now runs from Middlesbrough to London Kings Cross, Teesside Airport close by and major routes including the A19 and A66 surrounding all three of our offices in Middlesbrough, you’ll never have trouble getting where you need to go.
The vast transport options available, ensure organisations in the region can do business across the nation without the need to worry about transport.

We are looking forward to opening the doors of the gallery soon after what has been a very long time in lockdown with the first exhibition of 2021:
“Instrumental Art” by Photographic Artist David Griffiths.
David Griffiths is a photographic artist based in Teesside. His Digital artworks are a blend of true representation and stylistic interpretation.
David explores the complex aspects of perspectives and dimension within his work, experimenting with vibrant and dynamic colours, subtle use of light, shadow and reflections and a variety of mediums, to create intriguing mixed media pieces.
His multi-dimensional pieces are inspired by geometric forms and dynamic shapes found within nature and architecture and he explores pattern, colour and texture to create pieces that merge between reality and abstraction.
The onsite bistro – Iron Co Coffee House are preparing to reopen for takeaways in a couple of weeks time. The exhibition will not officially be open as a physical show for gatherings, but artwork can be viewed whilst grabbing yourself a cuppa or bite to eat. Please stick to government guidelines of social distancing and face masks.
