Thank you to everyone who came to our Future Leaders Summer Sports Day Event! Following a couple of weeks of scorching weather, we were looking forward to being blessed by some summer sunshine. But, in true British fashion, the weather deserted us, and we were met with a downpour just as a healthy amount of competitiveness began brewing amongst the teams.Still, spirits remained high and dry and we headed back to our offices for drinks, pizza and games. Thanks again to those who came and for leaning into our wet Sports Day! It was great to see some familiar and new faces and we hope to see you again soon at our next event (don’t worry, it will be indoors!).If you would like to get involved in our Future Leaders events, please get in touch with victoria.jackson@cripps.co.uk.#futureleaders #sportsday #networking #youngprofessionals
