¡Ay, caramba! Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You

Suitcases

This week we said goodbye to our Communications Manager Leonie who decided that four and a half years of trying to communicate everything that we do was quite enough and that she’d rather travel around South America in the sunshine without any responsibility or having to get up for work every morning. Personally I can’t see the appeal.

With so many leadership campaigns now under way, I thought that this week we could take a look at how you can maximise your own chances of replicas hublot assuming a position of power.
