Anton Calderon is the Government’s new media director. He was Communications Director for Together Gibraltar for several years and has also worked on some initiatives with the Social Democrats. The Chief Minister said Anton’s work has consistently shown depth, integrity and a genuine respect of our institutions. Anton was in the studio to tell us about his new role.
Our sports reporter Jose Mari Ruiz filled us in on the rest of the local sports news from the weekend, including who came out top in the Rock Cup final, and the annual Traditional Annual hill Climb Challenge.
But one of the biggest sporting events on the Rock was the boxing at Europa Point last Saturday. Three locals involved, three locals victorious! Brothers Kriss and Evan Montegriffo were making their professional debuts and they did not disappoint, while Tyrone Buttigieg “El bomber” now ranked as the 5th best boxer in Great Britain. We caught up with all three winners at Broadcasting House, battered and bruised from their fights.
On Wednesday, Startup Grind, in collaboration with Young Enterprise Gibraltar, will host the Pitch Battle: Youth Edition - a ‘Dragon's Den’ style live event where seven teams of students will present and defend their business ideas in front of a judging panel and public audience. Denise Matthews and Adi Dhanwani told us more.
And, any plans for the weekend? Local charity 'Little Smiles' is hosting a family fun day on Saturday. There will be live music and a fun zone in Casemates Square, but the overall objective is two increase awareness of Autism. Leslie Chadwick is part of the team organising the event, and is a mum of twins who are both autistic.
