We had the pleasure of attending the opening night at Rodizio Rico Brazilian restaurant on Corporation Street, Coventry, on Wednesday night and the night was electric! This venue is ideal if you are planning a meal out or you could team it with a visit to the theatre. A children’s menu is also available.
The CovHour team were greeted with delicious zesty caipirinha cocktails on arrival followed by trays of parmesan dough balls. The atmosphere was alive with t...
In February I discovered that I had been nominated for Woman Who Achieves award.

On International Women’s Day - 8th March I found out that I had become a finalist for the Woman Who Achieves for Networking award. I felt like a winner right there and then.
On 24th March I put on my running shoes to take part in the Coventry Half Marathon and I will be taking part again in 2020.
After a little persuasion from Emma at Piece of Cake Marketing I went along to the information evening for Strictly Christmas 2019. This event raises essential funds for Zoe’s Place (a baby hospice in Coventry). After some thought I applied to be one of the 24 contestants.
In August I found out that I had been chosen to be a contestant and went along to the meet and greet evening. Here I found out that we would be learning 2 dances - the jive and the waltz.

On the Friday Emma took her family into the town centre. They started by taking a look at the breath taking Knife Angel which is currently positioned outside Coventry Cathedral. The sculpture is fashioned from 100,000 kni...

From Sunday 17th to Sunday 24th March 2019 the people of Coventry came out for the Festival of Running which included the Children’s Mile, Toddler Dash, 5k and Coventry Half Marathon. This year’s event was bigger and better as Coventry is the European City of Sport for 2019.
The children were up first on Sunday 17th March for the Children’s Mile. Over 2000 children and their parents descended on the War Memorial Park which was organised by the team from CV Lif...
Back in February Kate decided to nominate Jo for a Woman Who Award in recognition of the countless hours she puts into managing #covhour week in week out over the last 5 and a half years.
The Woman Who Achieve Awards are described as an opportunity ’to inspire and celebrate the achievements of Women in Business and Rising Stars of the future. The aim of the Awards is to encourage women to recognise their achievements, celebrate their successes, motivate others,...
