I just wanted to say huge thanks to you and Chris for your talk at Greenford Quay. It was so fantastic to have you there – both for myself and TIC, and also (and most importantly!) for the audience who were so engaged with what you had to say. Thank you for also sticking around afterwards, I know how much guests enjoyed chatting to you.
