Tom’s talk shares details of how he has created an exciting and inspirational new workspace based in a woodland setting. He shares his learnings and best practice about encouraging and getting the most from your team, as well as helping in terms of supporting with team recruitment.

Our usual online format is an interactive ‘meeting’ but for this series we’re running webinars so that it’s easy to listen in while prepping for the day ahead or while having your breakfast! Cameras and mics will be off but you can ask your questions through the chat box or submit them beforehand.
