This week we are joined by the wonderful Lucy Verner, Managing Director for Urban Caprice - the exceptional event arm of Caprice Holdings. 

Lucy takes us to a sumptuous event at Aynhoe Park in the English countryside and talks us through how love started her in the industry, winning barista competitions, leadership challenges and getting the most out of her team, the importance of sticking to what you do best and some amazing places the events industry has taken her. Full of wisdom, creative ideas and an exceptional passion for events Lucy gives listeners a true insight into her world and the highs and pitfalls of running an event catering company.

As we start to see light at the end of the tunnel in dealing with the current Corona virus pandemic and an economy returning to work what will lie ahead in the short, medium and long term for businesses? In this series we look at some of the challenges and opportunities that will lie ahead for SMEs and offer advice and thoughts on best practise and preemptive action that can be taken to secure a successful future.
