Hello everyone,

As you know, our practitioner networks are the lifeblood of the SSF UK forum - it's what we are all about, learning from each other and sharing. As we take a break during the busy holiday period, we will be getting together with the Network Chairs to plan agendas for the rest of 2018 and 2019. We are back in September for our next events in Credit Management and HR. Other network events will be added to the events section shortly.

We would love to hear your thoughts, any items you wish to include, any challenges you face, any Best Practises you wish to share, please either post onto the discussion area or drop me a line at forum.manager@sharedservicesforumuk.com.

In the run up to conference, Jessica will be contacting many of you to find out if you would like to share your story in our feature, #mysharedservicesStory. They make fascinating reading. If you would like to be among the first to take part, again, please drop me a line or contact Jessica directly at jessica.behenna@sharedservicesforumuk.com.

We will also be revisiting the challenges you told us you faced at last year's conference and finding out how you got on.

This is your forum and we want you to get the most out of it.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Sharon
