Lunch Lab is back for 2026 - and we’re starting strong!

We’re kicking off the first Lunch Lab of the year with an exceptional speaker: Steve Southern, CEO of Southern Asset Management.

An award‑winning company led by a leader whose story is every bit as impressive as his achievements.

Steve will be joining us to share his journey behind his success, his career path, the decisions that shaped him, and an honest look at mental health and wellbeing along the way.

It’s a rare chance to hear from a Steve, who leads with both ambition and authenticity.

📅 Wednesday 28th January | 12–2pm | Bar & Grill

Let’s make the first event of 2026 a sell‑out - get your tickets here

Looking back on 2025 and what a year for my business!! 😍

It’s definitely been a year of growth and change and I've loved it ALL!

Networking, meetings, travel, events, awards ceremonies, work tours, summits, organisation… and a fair bit of madness all rolled into one. Oh and... A Cheeky house move to Newcastle to even it all out 😂

This year has really helped me navigate what I want to do with my business and moving into 2026, I’ve got a much clearer view of who I am and where I’m headed.

Some slight changes, but with a tighter focus and I can't wait to share it with you.

Thank you to those who have been a part of my year, big or small, I promise you've made a difference and I am feeling humble, blessed and ready to get back to it!
