As part of our 2022 Workforce Planning Campaign, the Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Chamber Committee is holding a series of events to support employers in the recruitment and retention of employees.

For the fourth event in this series: ‘How to attract and retain impactful leadership talent for your business’ we are delighted to be joined by Toby Young and Andrew Moore, co-owners and managing partners of international executive search and recruitment firm, Bailey Fisher.

Today’s business environment is global and interconnected, making leadership more complex than ever. Attracting outstanding leadership talent is essential for any business to expand, scale and ultimately succeed – but there is a premium on talent for today’s business environment which prioritizes agility, emotional intelligence, diversity, cultural acumen and comfort with uncertainty.

With over 20 years’ experience each in executive search and recruitment, Toby and Andrew will be guiding us through the challenges of hiring and retaining the most impactful talent to lead your business and will lead discussion on the value diverse leadership plays in driving innovation and business results.

This session will be hosted by Faye Holland, Cambridge & South Cambs Chamber Committee.

We are grateful for the support for Madingley Hall for supporting this event.
