What a year. Instead of a handful of bright, shiny material things all I really want for Christmas is an effective COVID-19 vaccine, a safe environment for my friends and family, the opportunity for every person to use their abilities and make a genuine contribution to the greater good, and a return to the days when leadership was about the capacity to bring people together and push forward, rather than simply the loudest or most consistent voice – surely not too much to ask!

This year has taught us resilience and patience. We have had a stark reminder of what is really important in life. We have learned the painful lesson of expecting life to be on a constant, consistent path and promise to approach life like an optimist but plan like a pessimist – personally and professionally.

So, here is to a fresh start with renewed energy and vigour in 2021. Stay safe, stay well and we’ll look forward to working with you again in the New Year to make the most of the opportunities available to you on your pathway.
