Relive the April 2026 Finance Town Hall...
Who knew that a (very tasty) sandwich in a humble paper bag would be so popular?
Or that eating that sandwich in the stands of a rugby/football/soccer stadium chattering away to your friends and colleagues could also be so much fun?
Turns out that was a widely shared experience at our first Finance Town Hall for the year. Sometimes it is the simple things that deliver the best results.
