He's done it! Heartfelt congrats to our Chief Executive, Barry Phillips and his other half Anna, who got married in Moscow on Saturday. I'm sure you'll agree that Anna looked stunning, with Barry scrubbing up quite well himself. Everyone on this 'island is delighted for them both.

There's no rest for the wicked while Barry enjoys the start of married life, and we have a busy week here:

Our Managing Difficult Conversations two day course is flying at the moment, so much so that we've only got one place remaining. Contact Vanessa now to make that place yours!

Scott hopes to work from home three days this week – Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. On Thursday he meets Ciaran Trainor from the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland and Paul Fieldhouse of Hyperion Growth.

Heather has returned from her trip to London with loads of information about potential venues for our GB Annual Review of Employment Law conferences in October this year - the early bird catches the worm, and all that.

Our other Conference Manager, Kerry Murphy, is also on the hunt for new venues this week, although she's a little closer to home with appointments to visit the Tullyglass and Galgorm in Ballymena on Tuesday.

Our Training Centre has been hired by the Health and Social Care Trust this week. We've got a great offer on Training Centre bookings at the moment - book the Training Centre for a Monday or Friday and you'll save 33% on room hire.
