Join us at the IoD HQ in London for an unforgettable afternoon of inspirational talks from two leading industry speakers, Ian Windle and Marcus Child. The pair will each share their vision of a culture-centric business landscape and why investing in people should be top priority.
A ‘people first’ theme will guide the day, and we will be hosting a panel session featuring the recent winners of our Top SME Culture Leaders Awards. The winners will share their tips for using company culture to drive business success as well as actively transforming their team’s lives for the better.
You’ll also have the chance to meet some of the Breathe team and exclusively hear from our CEO about our exciting plans for 2020. There will be plenty of opportunity to network – to meet and chat with the rest of Breathe’s user community and exchange ideas, tips and support one another over a spread of lunch we will be putting on.
For this unmissable event, we recommend booking your places as soon as possible to make sure you don’t miss out. Look forward to seeing you there!

In a bid to highlight the benefits of investing in workplace culture for UK SMEs, we created the Top 25 SME Culture Leaders campaign. For six weeks in 2019, we opened the nomination desks and called for all UK businesses (1 to 250 employees) to shout about how they look after their people, company and culture. We heard some amazing stories from businesses who – like Breathe – are committed to putting their people first and you’ll be able to hear first-hand from three of our culture leaders.
