We were delighted to welcome guests from across the business world to an exclusive networking event at our Redhill base, offering a behind the scenes look at our lifesaving work. They included regional business leaders, charitable partners, community influencers and representatives from local organisations.
Hosted on Wednesday 11 March, the event gave attendees a base tour, a hands-on lifesaving skills session, and the opportunity to connect from a dynamic lineup of speakers, specialising in leadership, wellbeing and business growth. Speakers included; Jarmila Yu, Founder and MD of YUnique Marketing, Brett North, Chief Executive Officer of Gatwick Diamond Initiative and Claire Elmes, Founder of Inspire You Wellbeing.
Guests also heard from a former KSS patient, who shared their personal story of survival and recovery. Their journey highlights the profound impact of rapid, specialist medical treatment and the difference KSS makes every single day.
