Our annual MA Away Day is always a highlight, and this year was no exception! Held at the InterContinental O2 on the 20th of September, the day was a great opportunity for us to step away from our desks and focus on what we can do to help make the next 25 years as successful as the last.

We started the day with insightful updates from our Managing Director, Roger Arnold, and Director Chris Martin, followed by a panel discussion involving a number of our Senior Leadership team. Roger and Chris shared where we currently stand as a business and outlined our goals for the upcoming years as we continue to adapt to the ever-evolving market. Roger emphasised the importance of understanding our long-term goals, providing a renewed sense of direction.

We also welcomed Chris Graham from PML Group. As part of our dedication to improving the quality of the service we deliver, PML Group recently conducted an anonymous online survey with our clients to gain feedback on areas where we are working well and also where improvements can be made to our service.

Additionally, Vicky Stevens from VJS Training led a training session on brand guardianship, focusing on different communication styles and how we can be better and more effective communicators.

After our training, we made our way to the O2’s Canteen Food Hall & Bar for lunch. The afternoon and evening were filled with delicious food, drinks and activities including a quiz and the opportunity to climb the O2 arena with “Up at The O2,” to enjoy the breathtaking view at the top.

Overall, the MA Away Day was a great success, a perfect blend of reflection, motivation and fun, leaving us all energised and ready to work towards our business goals.
