Posted on by Emma Reed

*Collaborative Post

There are a range of reasons as to why you might throw an internal business event. Perhaps you’re running your first award show to try and congratulate the excellent workers in your business.

Be You, Try Something New and Unite On International Women’s Day

Posted on by Emma Reed

Every 8th March is marked by International Women’s Day. A day for women to stand up and unite, a day for them to remind themselves that they do count and that they can do or be anything they want, a day to remind ourselves of everything women have done before us to achieve rights and equality. On this day I want to talk about and celebrate all of the amazing women I know or have recently met.
