Priceless insights in this last panel on The Change Starts With Us with Amaara Roze in the chair at #thebigcreativeuksummit who just told us “Hard to reach communities are not a thing. The top of a fridge is hard to reach until you get on a chair”

Challenging day at #thebigcreativeuksummit covering a varied portfolio of subjects with some interesting views expressed - good food for thought @WeAreCreativeUK

@JamesBlunt Proper giggle at the exhibits. Well done somebody.

Completely forgot to announce the opening of this fantastic cultural experience in glorious Herefordshire. Free entry for both my fans.

Good to be hearing from the expert team at ⁦@MooreKSw1⁩ about the financial performance of marketing services companies #annualsurvey2023

I'm working with @UAL to understand how trade, migration + foreign policy can better support the creative industries. We want to make sure the next gov gets it right. And we need to hear from businesses and freelancers in the sector. 🙏 fill in our survey: forms.gle/HcLcMJvtob797C…

@NTGates @Rebirding1 @PTESOrchards @PTES @nhbsBooks @WmCollinsBooks My husband and I reading through your book during our coffee breaks mid mornings - working from home habit. Absolutely Iove it. Thank you.

@Sony I have a Sony Bravia TV 2018 that just wont come on any more - London - where can I get it repaired? Thanks

@JennyTheolin One off? Or regularly?

If 2020 was the year you needed to innovate your service offerings to survive, 2023 is the year that you need to refocus on disciplined execution to thrive.

@Nickhalo01 You don’t wear a flat cap do you? 🤣

I saw this on Saturday night. Original pub meme.

@davidcbaker You missed one signal that works every time for me - walk out! And don’t come back.

I have to hold myself back from scratching someone’s eyes out when that someone forces small talk against…every…single…signal. Send your thoughts and prayers for this fellow’s ability to walk without a cane in his future.

@davidcbaker That’s how I feel after I’ve put up a collapsible table!

@EmilyPenny Forget the spelling challenge. What about the eating challenge????

Both lentil and raisin challenge my spelling skills I have to say 😬🤫

In health news: the Greggs outside my office has closed which means the closest port of call for snacks is now Holland & Barrett. Currently eating raisins and lentil crisps.

@catdrew_ @huhmaternity @ivifertility @designcouncil Congratulations to you all. So excited for you. The fun starts now!!

Taken us a week to get over the powerful arrival of our Stella Rae Cornet-Drew. Big thanks to @huhmaternity @ivifertility and @designcouncil colleagues for making her journey to birth and beyond possible, and for the care you’ve shown me. The most important ingredient in design.
