We wanted to step away from work related posts for a moment to share some news from the boys football team we have been sponsoring this season, Trafford FC Youth Warriors U15. Appreciate there is often discussions as to what should and shouldn’t go on LinkedIn, but this is most definitely worth a mention.

One of the Trafford Warriors players, Callen, lost his dad whilst he was serving with the EPS (Edmonton Police Service) in Canada. Constable Daniel Woodall was fatally injured at the age of 35 on June 8th 2015, whilst doing the job he loved.

As it is nearing the 10th anniversary of Dan’s passing, members of the EPS have travelled to the North West for their annual charity game (the ‘Woodall Cup’) at Darwen FC to honour their former colleague. Dan grew up in Darwen and had worked for Greater Manchester Police before emigrating to Canada.

As part of their visit the EPS spent the evening with our Trafford Warriors for a friendly match in honour of Dan and with Dan’s son Callen on the pitch. Some excellent football skills on show from both teams and this (and the subsequent Woodall Cup match) was and is a fantastic way to honour Dan. The EPS lads were great with the Warrior boys and displayed a solid example of team spirit and unity. With a penalty shoot out after the match, the boys were given gifts to commemorate the occasion and we wish the EPS all the very best for the Woodall Cup!

This reminds us all of the risks some are prepared to take and the sacrifices they are prepared to make, simply whilst doing a job they love and, in this case, whilst looking to protect the community around them. It certainly puts things into perspective when we think about some of the more mundane things that worry us at work on a daily basis.

This year the Woodall Cup is being held at Darwen FC tonight at 7pm. The charity match will feature former professional players against the EPS’s best XI. It will be free to enter, but supporters can make a donation. Amongst other former professional players will be stars such as former Blackpool striker Brett Ormerod, former Newcastle United player Chris Holland, and former Barnsley and Premier League player Darren Sheridan. If you live in the area it would be great if you could make it. Both Dan’s sons who will be there for their dad. Thinking of Dan's family & friends. Go EPS!

We are excited to announce Horizon's 'Headline' events for 2025! Our summer event will come in the shape of Shoptalk Europe at Fira Gran Via, Barcelona, where we will be exhibiting between the 2nd and 4th June. We will be joining over 4,500 senior industry players from across Europe’s retail, brand and tech landscape...and if last year's event is anything to go by, this is going to provide us with a very worthwhile and productive platform to showcase all our latest Horizon developments...and we have a lot to say, that's for sure! Our Autumn event will see us both exhibiting and speaking at Technology for Marketing at London's ExCel between the 24th and 25th September. Technology for Marketing is the UK-leading Marketing and AI event for B2B and B2C marketing professionals and we can't wait to showcase Horizon directly to our target audience! Now the hard work starts in ensuring we deliver the best possible experience at both these crucial events in our marketing calendar! Hopefully, we will see you there!

Our incredible team came together to celebrate an amazing year for Horizon!

Looking back on 2024, we're filled with pride. We've welcomed new clients, won industry awards, launched our new website and most importantly, helped our clients achieve their goals.

The secret behind Horizon? Our people.

We have a team of passionate experts dedicated to working alongside our clients. Together, we develop data-driven strategies, deliver insightful analysis, and champion new solutions.

2024 has been fantastic, but we're just getting started. Here's to an even brighter 2025, filled with innovation, collaboration, and helping businesses reach new heights!

We are very excited to announce the launch of our new website!

We have significantly expanded our business content to include more detail around what makes Horizon 'different', its architecture, integrations, platform features and those all important benefits!

We've 'homed in' a more acute way on our products and services, our people and our mission...all with the intention of outlining how Horizon can generate clear and decisive business value.

There's also a new section on how a career with us could provide a game changing opportunity as well as content around our latest news and Horizon events.

You can also sign up for a new external newsletter 'ozone', where you can stay ahead of the curve with all our latest Horizon news, industry trends, tips and resources.

Our Managing Director, Luke Ibbetson commented:

“We have created our new website to put Horizon front and centre with so much more content around its capabilities and features as a platform of the future.

We are on a mission to somewhere really special with our incredibly talented people and bright minds driving us forward. We pride ourselves on our very strong professional services heritage and this has seen us around the table and in the ‘trenches’ with so many businesses and their leaders over the years.

We have witnessed the many challenges that organisations face across data, people, process and technology. Most importantly, we have helped businesses overcome these first hand.

All of that experience has led to the release of our own new technology platform to combat many of these challenges. Our new Horizon 2.0 platform really helps us make the transition to being a tech-first organisation and I am sure you will see that first-hand on our new website...we hope you like it!"
