Welcome

Welcome to the June issue of the UK’s largest circulation business magazine.

We have been rather consumed of late with the second year of the Dynamic Awards which took place at the Grand Brighton on May 25th. The response was truly outstanding and we now have 16 super-charged women looking for more room on the fireplace for their trophy. All the winners are revealed in Dynamic Magazine which is included in this issue. Stand by for the announcement of the all-new Dynamic Conference, coming your way in 2024.

We look at the world of phone hacking and how, potentially, we are all at risk. We also present a Focus on Crawley and the remarkable changes taking place that will ensure the town becomes a true powerhouse.

We meet up with the Chairman of accountancy firm MHA and discuss its new move to Gatwick, and MDHUB presents a fascinating new business leaders survey. Venner Shipley discusses a changed landscape for patents across Europe, and we look at the extended Recovery Loan Scheme.

In Motoring, Maarten gets hot and bothered with an Aston Martin, and in Travel, Tess takes a looks at the luxury of boat charter in the Med.

It’s all here, all you need to do is grab a coffee and enjoy the read.
