There are times that we spend so much time working on the day-by-day business of running courses, booking hotel rooms, paying bills, and the rest that we don't take a step back and look at the bigger picture, nor look to changes in the law (especially tax and employment law), in what's available that might be of use, and common change of practise. So it was on that basis that we took a day that we really couldn't spare ... and spared it.
I won't go into the details of all the talks. Some included ideas which, great through they were, would not be for us. And a number of issues came up, time and again, relating to business premises where, basically, we're now decided, fixed, stable for 10 years. There's a lot happened in the last 2 years on that side, of course, and listening carefully I ended up convinced that most of the setups and advise we have taken have been correct for us, and we're with the right team.
