Investor Relations (IR) Society Webinar

One of our partners, Ali Saribas, will be speaking at IR Society’s webinar on Thursday, 8 November, at 12:30 PM (GMT). 

With the number of resolutions at FTSE 350 companies failing to receive 80% shareholder support already passing the 2017 level, together with Freddie Woolfe, Sahul Patel, and Nick Dawson, the panel will discuss emerging themes ranging from board accountability to audit quality for 2019.
