This week, my heart is full of gratitude 💚 We’ve just wrapped up two huge days at Connected Britain, curating the Recruitment & Training Zone with our brilliant partners at Total Telecoms. Massive thanks to Katie Dudney, Cheryl Cheong, Kieran Murphy, Charley Perkins and the rest of the team for being such a joy to work alongside – what a partnership!
26 hashtag#ImpactMaker speakers.
11 powerful sessions.
27 1:1 training clinics.
And countless conversations that reminded me why this work matters.
Hanging out with partners like Startingpoint was another highlight. Together, we explored three key areas shaping the future of UK prosperity:
– Digital foundation – closing the essential skills gap holding back productivity.
– Radical inclusion – building diverse teams that fuel innovation, growth, and better decisions.
– Talent with purpose – meeting the demand from today’s workforce for meaning, mission and impact.
The energy, questions, and commitment I saw across the two days gave me at least a 100% boost in confidence that we’re moving in the right direction.
And behind all of this? A brilliant, brilliant team who pulled off something extraordinary. 💚
We did it!
