The 'Hopeful' Breakfast

A new year brings new hope, which is particularly welcome after the tumultuous two years we have all endured. So we are delighted that our first breakfast speaker of 2022 is from the aptly named Caburn Hope, an award-winning employee communications agency based in Lewes.

Elizabeth Spencer-Phillips is the company’s Founding Director, Joint CEO and MD.

She’s a hugely experienced communications and marketing professional who has worked across major brands including Unilever, L’Oreal, Coca-Cola and Pfizer.

At our January breakfast, Elizabeth will talk about how the company grew from a two-person start-up with no financial backing into the multi-million-pound business it is today. She’ll discuss the importance of not being scared to walk away or follow a different path. The company has recently been bought by US market leader Buck and Elizabeth will pass on top tips about selling a business and not taking life for granted

So book now for our January breakfast. See you there – we hope!
