We look forward to this year's annual company conference. The event will be taking place at the Hickstead Hotel. Some delegates will be arriving on the 10th June and Simon King will also be there to help you settle in. For the delegates arriving on 11th June, please arrive bright and early and join the others for a day of meetings, presentations, training and 'shout out' session.
There is much to get through so we thank you in advance for arriving promptly at each session. We hope you enjoy the day.
