Designed for Finance professionals focused on developing their careers, in collaboration with Grant Thornton.  This small, invite-only group aims to introduce a balance of business insight and leadership development within a relaxed and neutral environment. 

The Finance Leadership Programme is designed to develop the soft skills and capabilities of the finance leaders of tomorrow. The programme aims to help ambitious finance professionals develop the skills to become true business leaders.

We will host three interactive, round table sessions over the course of 2016, each covering a different subject relevant to senior finance professionals.  At each session we will have subject experts imparting knowledge and sharing their experiences with you.
