As we head into the last month of the year and nearing Christmas, I have been more reflecting of the past and how it has shaped our company & ourselves.

I worked out that I have been involved in volunteer organisations for over 17 years – wow! The first position I held just prior to my son being born, was as treasurer of […]

For FBA, the case study has become a far greater tool than just for the event. In speaking with Nicola, she has mentioned that many attendees have since spoken about the video, which allowed them to put […]
