I chose to attend The Resilient Business 2022 event as I am one of many small business leaders to recognise the turbulent times we have faced over the last two years which are now being compounded by the uncertain financial and political challenges ahead. Taking time to discuss and learn best practices from industry experts and business leaders is a crucially important to help navigate the challenges.

This has been a difficult year for most small businesses, and recently it has become harder still. It would have been easy to conclude that I couldn’t afford the time, but I know the opportunity to have a short period away from the daily bustle will improve my perspective. Furthermore, the opportunity to gain extra insights and ideas from what the event will cover and from other attendees is too good to miss.

As an organisation that is focused on supporting young people to realise their potential, LDN Apprenticeships has a duty to be resilient and to continue to provide outstanding support to our learners during tough economic times. The UK’s small businesses are facing an incredibly challenging next two years and there is no doubt that young people will be one of the groups who are worst affected by the crisis. I am excited to be attending The Resilient Business event to meet with peers, friends and business leaders who I know will help me to strengthen our business so that we can continue to deliver amazing results for our apprentices.
