20/09/2008

Edge joined forces with the New Statesman to launch the Labour conference at Manchester Town Hall, putting education and job training in the spotlight

Edge took the message that there are many paths to success to the highest levels, teaming up with the New Statesman to open the Labour party conference at Manchester Town Hall.

Among the guests were Foreign Secretary David Miliband, Health Secretary Alan Johnson, Secretary for Innovation, University and Skills John Denham and Minister of State for Children, Schools and Families Jim Knight. Ed Miliband, the Cabinet Office Minister gave the keynote speech.

Commenting on the event, Edge Chief Executive Andy Powell said, "It's essential that everyone from Cabinet Ministers downwards understand the need for young people to have the opportunity to develop all their talents and abilities. By speaking to key government decision makers here tonight, hopefully we can work together to ensure a better future for all the UK's young people."
