Great to get out of the office yesterday evening with colleagues from our Derby team for a Walk & Drinks in Duffield. 🌿🍻

A relaxed circular walk through the countryside gave everyone the chance to properly catch up – especially with people we don’t always get to spend time with day to day.

We rounded things off at a local pub, which was a nice way to unwind and continue the conversations.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so enjoyable.
