Later, he became Chair of Parliament’s Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Select Committee, where he led high profile inquiries into the sale of BHS and working practices at Sports Direct.
This was a great event where I was able to receive updates, network with new people and some of the ICAEW team and hear discussions and interesting Q&A's.
Highly impressed by the quality of the content, and the professionalism and standard of the speakers.
Really well constructed, managed and curated. Top quality speakers and a thoroughly engaging day.
A very useful day to have one's views and knowledge challenged and maybe confirmed!
