Join us for a face-to-face breakfast discussion looking at some of the key changes and challenges that we'll likely be facing in 2025.
Andrew Sanford a Partner at hosts Blick Rothenberg, will guide us through his tax and business growth predictions and will detail the expected trading landscape in 2025. Charlie Thompson of Farebrother will share his thoughts concerning our office market.
