Mark Williams the director of Creative Studios Derby, a specialist Adobe training studio.
At the beginning of March this year Creative Studios had at least 5 months of Adobe training booked in. This included classroom courses here at the studio in Derby, onsite training at various locations around the country, lectures scheduled in for students at various Universities and evening courses prepared for QUAD.
Then it all stopped, face to face training ground to a halt for over 5 months!

Spectrum’ is a well-known word. Some associate it with colours, some with autism. Different spectrums run all throughout our lives, but sometimes we don’t recognise them.

When people use the word 'challenging' to describe 2020, I know they are using that very British of techniques: understatement.
Still, it's better than using 'unprecedented' which has to be the most overused word EVER.

I’m Tim, I work as a solo / freelance consultant working with leaders and entrepreneurs to help them apply creativity to grow themselves and their organisations.
A strong 95% of work involves me facilitating groups of people for a day or a few days, in a room … or at least it did.

Honest Communications turned one in November - a cause for celebration that I’d got to this milestone. The agency’s first birthday was also a good moment to step back and take stock of everything I’ve learned in the first 365 days of running a business.
