“We contacted FIRST to run a confidence and networking session for our aspiring leaders programme. The session was energetic, fun and gave our colleagues some fantastic ideas in how to develop networking skills for professional development. 

The feedback from the delegates was excellent and we wouldn’t hesitate to use FIRST again to deliver as part of our leadership programme.”
