It’s a wrap!
Our ninth Barn to Boardroom (B2B) is all over and was a roaring success. We had lots of emails and feedback about how useful people found it (and about how nice everyone was, the food, the setting, and, of course, the brilliant presentations!)
B2B 2025 will come around fast so don’t miss out the chance to hear from a prestigious list of IC pros at our barn in the heart of the West Sussex countryside, all while meeting up with a bunch of brilliant like-minded peers and colleagues.
See you there!
