​A packed-out Building 4000 at Westcott Venture Park was a great setting for a great day of inspiration centred around an organisation’s greatest asset – their people. As always, we would love your feedback on the event, so please take a moment to let us know about your experience.

​A big thank you to Sarah Stevens, Director of SYLO Beyond HR, for her fantastic speech on how employers can master recruitment, training, mentoring and creating a culture that embraces difference. A copy of Sarah's presentation slides can be found here >

​A big thank you to our panel who shared their knowledge and experience with the room - Mark Denton, Managing Director of Zenopa Recruitment; Carline Herman, Head of HR at Lunaz Group; and Andreas Hohmann, Managing Director of Total Carbide.

The programme is funded by the European Social Fund and the Department for Work and Pensions.
