It's with great disappointment we have to postpone our event.
Unfortunately due to presenters & guests having additional time commitments due to impending election etc, it will be v. hard to keep the same high standard of event if we go ahead.
Thanks for understanding 🌈

I'm so proud to be a @NRTHLASS
Years of working in boardrooms with the joke being at the expense of my accent - I've grown to love my #Yorkshire accent & what it stands for
I'm really grateful to this brilliant magazine for telling our story

I know that #panicBuying is trending again - please remember, the more we share images of empty shelves and create panic ourselves, the worse it may become in the short term. And it will only be the shorterm
Let's engage with that kindness many talked of in the first wave. 🛒

From backing vocals to tracking financials, my starting point was as an entertainer & it's helped me form the person I am today in business. I will no longer be shamed by it but celebrate it. Entertainers should RECLAIM their skills not RETRAIN
