On 19 March Adlestrop Consulting held a careers guidance evening at the Nottingham Playhouse. Dr Andy Bass gave an informative and lively interactive presentation on how to make small talk and how to stand out from the crowd at networking events. The evening was well attended and concluded with drinks and eats at Cast. The lucky winner of the Champagne draw was Tom Baines from Browne Jacobson.
