Dear all,
I know some of you will not be joining us and many of you are already booked in to attend on Wednesday.
The updated details are below, please share with your colleagues as there are still spaces left. The values approach is creating a lot of interest and with Tom Crompton coming over to join us it is going to be great.
See some of you in City Hall.
Thanks,
Davie
