I was thrilled yesterday to attend the 1st Birthday celebration for the Innovation Lab at the University of Suffolk. It was great to network with local innovators, and hear about all the successes had to date.
Pictured are speeches from DVC Gups Jagpal, Emma Wakeling (Head of Business and KE), and Peter Basford, Business Growth Coaches Network.
