Workshop day with Power of Women💜

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of welcoming the POW team to Flok Co-Working Space for a strategy day!

It was a great session led by Russell Mills alongside Steve Dougan, with discussions around POW’s growth journey, the positive impact they’re having across the region, and how they can continue to support young people.💡

We explored future partnerships, opportunities, and events, and more!

Thank you to Russell for a fantastic workshop, and to the POW team for joining us. We can’t wait to see what’s next! 🚀

💡 Thinking about what comes next for POW.

Our team recently came together for a Strategy Day, an opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come, the impact we’re creating and where we want to go next. 💥

As POW continues to grow, it’s important that we keep asking ourselves what more we can do for young people across our region.

We talked about our programmes, partnerships, events, future ambitions and how we can create even more meaningful opportunities for young people.✨

There’s lots to be excited about and we can’t wait to share more. 💜

Thanks to Alt Labs and Russell Mills for hosting an excellent session!

What can your business learn from innovation in the Transport sector?💡🚛

Over the years, transport has faced constant disruption from tariffs, global restrictions, supply chain challenges, and shifting customer expectations.

The transportation industry offers valuable lessons for other industries in resilience, and the practical tools businesses can utilise to navigate change. We’ve worked with start-ups and scaling businesses in transport to help faciliate Innovation, and change, and many of the transformations taking place there can teach valuable lessons even to those outside of the sector.
