This weekend I trained a delightful group of new planners from the Midlands and Northern Ireland.

It was great seeing people realise, from the beginning, that there are ways of working together as planners, even if on occasion you are in competition.

Equally interesting was understanding, albeit Northern Ireland is of course the UK, how different that market is, both in terms of what is on offer, and the likely clientele. 

As ever I came away glad to have played a part in the beginning of peoples’ new careers and ever more pleased by the talent which I see entering the industry.
