On assignment to photograph Gordon Brown as he opens extension to Great Yarmouth College in Norfolk

As well as the wedding photography side of my business that I do with Antonella Muscat as part of Davis & Co Photographers I also take on more journalistic photography assignments


It was this side of my business that led me to be in Great Yarmouth on Monday 14th February to photograph Gordon Brown as he opened an extension to Great Yarmouth College

The £8 million pound extension was officially opened at the end of a 45 minute tour of the college where Mr Brown met students and college staff.

He also met people working in start-up businesses in the new Alchemy 2 which alongside the Alchemy Centre encourages innovation and new businesses to help stimulate the local economy by providing office space and business support for fledgling enterprises. Alchemy 2 was funded by the East of England Development Agency (EEDA)


Mr Brown was accompanied by the local MP Tony Wright, College principle Robin Parkinson, chair of governors Mike Field, Deborah Cadman Chief Executive of the EEDA. He also met with with Councillor Tony Smith the Mayor of Great Yarmouth.
