Join us for the first Inspiring Leaders Working Lunch, the launch event in a brand new series designed to support local professionals in developing their leadership skills, building meaningful connections and gaining insight from inspiring leaders across the region.

Our first speaker: Anna Edwards, Managing Partner at EPP Global

In recognition of International Women's Day, we are delighted to welcome Anna Edwards, Managing Partner at EPP Global, as our inaugural guest speaker. 

Over a delicious lunch, Anna will share her reflections on a 25 year career spanning advertising and marketing, headhunting and consultancy, as well as her role as Managing Partner of sports performance and recruitment consultancy EPP Global.

This will be a valuable opportunity to hear honest reflections from an experienced leader, ask questions and connect with fellow Bath professionals in an informal and welcoming setting.
