Training budgets are usually the first to go in a recession
in order to save money however, this can leave companies

employees. EmploySE1 and Better Bankside would like to
invite businesses to a free networking event to find out how
to utilise their greatest assets through training and
recruitment opportunities. The event will include short
presentations from industry experts Adam Brown, Rutie
Mupfurutsa and Philip Barron. There will also be the
opportunity to network over a light breakfast.
