We took our own advice and took some time out of the business. Back from an Andalusian road trip and pottering in the Lake District. Refreshed, energised and we’ll see you at the next event, coffee shop or Zoom call. #rest #backtowork

Work Pirates is 3 today! How fitting it’s Bastille Day. 🇫🇷 We set up Work Pirates to help instigate such change and revolution in workplaces. Go against the status quo, challenge leadership, seek out what isn’t working and do something different. Thanks for the support 🏴‍☠️
