Our indy web agencies are struggling. I know first hand the incredible quality of Set Studio’s work and I’d urge anyone who needs a bit of website love (or indeed a new one) to hit them up. Likewise, if you’ve got a bit of learning budget kicking about, get yourself a piccalilli course.

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020. It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛 bell.bz/its-been-a-v...

Andy is a legend, and the course he has produced alongside some brilliant people including his team at @piccalil.li are top notch. If you have a project in mind for 2026, hit up @set.studio And/Or maybe make upskilling your Holiday treat to yourself this December!

Completed the first few lessons of this course over my lunch break. @scott.is has the most calm and comforting delivery of material that is outside my comfort zone. I cannot recommend this course enough. It's like a tattoed hug!

Just over four years ago, I gave evidence on my experience as a Fan Elected Director to the panel consulting on the formation of this bill, evidence which changed the direction of the recommendations and has led to the formation of Shadow Boards up and down the country
