Following recent member requests, finest is pleased to announce the launch of a series of 5 pilot workshops, each designed to help members with specific business management areas that may be particularly profound in challenging business times. The workshops will be limited to a maximum of 20 delegates and places will be allocated to enable an optimum number of finest members to participate.  If workshops are oversubscribed, further workshops will be arranged.
