In this episode Chris and Ian are joined by another UK workplace sector stalwart, long-time flexible working pioneer, author and consultant, Andy Lake. As you'll hear, this polite and humble chap has been an advocate for working flexibly in many ways, including the Civil Service's 'The Way We Work', online community resource flexibility.co.uk and UK Smart Working Code of Practice, PAS 3000:2015.

The conversation focuses on his most recent book, Beyond Hybrid Working: A Smarter & Transformational Approach to Flexible Working. Published by Routledge in December 2023, the book draws together more than three decades of workplace experience and thinking. But of course the conversation doesn't stop there... Chris and Ian encourage Andy to whip his soapbox out from under his desk and share his views on recent central Government return to the office directives!
