A quick work update re @jlpartnerspolls and @j_l_partners. I'm immensely proud to share that we started the year on 8 people and we are ending it on close to 20! Last week we convened our annual retreat to celebrate that success. Taking place on the Red Sea in Egypt, it was an incredible few days of team bonding, strategic and training sessions, and an opportunity for the US and UK firms to come together - plus to plan on how we are going to get even bigger wins in 2026. I'm hugely proud of every member of these incredible, high-proficiency teams; and of my co-founder @tmlbk and director @guymiscampbell in helping to build them. On to 2026!

Due to high demand, we’re extending the entry deadline for the Kent Invicta #ChamberBusinessAwards to Wednesday 8th October 2025. This is your final opportunity to showcase your achievements and gain the recognition you deserve. Enter now: hubs.la/Q03t020z0
