The media company I manage, Gateway Media, is part of a larger youth training charity called City Gateway. All the profits we make go into this charity, which gives us the social enterprise status we enjoy. This article in the Evening Standard shows insight into the background of Nabil Ahmed, a new apprentice at City Gateway.

While giving sales training to some of the wider City Gateway staff last week, I had my first proper opportunity to spend time with Nabil. At the time I didn’t know his background, only that he was ambitious and keen to learn. He picked up on the training well and is putting his first sales campaign together now, which I am looking forward to helping him deliver soon. Nabil is an inspiration to me, of what can be overcome and why social enterprise and charities like City Gateway are so important.

The second of the promotional videos shot by Gateway Media for City Gateway highlights how local corporates in the City and Canary Wharf have and can look to partner with the charity to benefit the local community. Another way would be to use Gateway Media as our profits are put back into the good work that City Gateway does.

The video was another first for us as it was shot using a Canon 5D MkII which is a high quality DSLR camera rather than our normal video equipment.
