Had an insightful time at the Accounts Payable Association’s event hosted at the House of Lords yesterday! Engaging panel discussions, with a standout session focusing on robust fraud prevention strategies in the accounts payable domain. Grateful for the opportunity to connect and learn from industry experts!

Proud moment to have been invited as an Alliance sponsor for the Accounts Payable Association's annual event! It's was amazing to be part of this incredible gathering of 500 Accounts Payable Leaders, who came together to celebrate each other's successes, share invaluable knowledge, and enjoy a fantastic night of camaraderie with an unforgettable ballroom dinner. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Jamie Radford for making this collaboration happen and to Mike Pavely for their unwavering support. Proud to have also been nominated for Solutions Partner of the Year at the APA Awards, although the honor ultimately went to the incredible Xelix! I'm genuinely excited to continue working with this amazing community of professionals. Together, we'll achieve great things! Great to catch up Rachael, Ellen, Gillian, Michael, Andy, Rachael, Toni, Josie, Samantha, Emma, Kat & everyone else!

What a gorgeous day to finally see the Breedon Group plc AP offices following a successful recruitment campaign! Rachael, I hope the team enjoyed the mountain of snacks! 😅

Last Thursday, I had the privilege of attending the highly insightful event, "Success Leaves Clues," hosted by Finance Transformation UK at the iconic Old Trafford stadium. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with 50 esteemed Finance Leaders who gathered under one roof to delve into the complexities of Finance Transformation. The event centred around the importance of making the right investments in Leaders, Technology, and Team to ensure positive results in this ever-evolving landscape. We explored the costs and implications of getting Finance Transformation wrong and the tremendous benefits of getting it right. I am immensely grateful to Finance Transformation UK for organising this remarkable event and providing a platform for such meaningful discussions. A special thanks to all the finance leaders who attended and shared their valuable insights. Your contributions made the event truly exceptional and showcased the power of collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Excellent talk by Martin Kirby FCICM, Michael Ryan & Gary Cole.
