Working in partnership with Tempting Ventures, we want to equip leaders today with practical solutions to grow their organisation in the right way and practice good habits from the start to ensure their business can flourish at it’s most vital stage of development.”

“The five breakfast events will give attendees the opportunity to take part in round table discussions with peers and seek guidance from the specialists on how to identify areas of change and ways to define tangible actions for results.
