“Having strong business leadership across the UK is critical to our economy particularly as we face increasingly challenging market conditions. Many members join TAB because they need support running their business but what they gain is far more than that. This year we are particularly focussed on helping our members with setting out their personal visions which encompass both their professional and private lives. Equally, bringing together leaders from a cross section of industries is incredibly powerful. Sharing leadership challenges with their peers gives our members a sense of community and often the solution to critical issues such as recruitment, people management and retention.”
