  • This will be followed by an interactive panel discussion with Kelly Jones, Transformation Director at Kingsgate, Nick Alexander, Independent Company Turnaround Specialist, and Steve Benger, Independent Business Recovery & Growth Expert, who will share their views on how they have adapted and navigated the changing market.
  • Case studies from both the public and private sectors will be shared by PwC’s Operational Restructuring Team.
  • The session will conclude with a group discussion, summarising the key principles of how to be a successful turnaround director in a changing market.  Discussion highlights will be published and shared following the event.
