Thanks for getting in touch – we’ll get back to you in 2024!

It’s that time of year again…

Nope, we’re not throwing our customer service values out the window, we’re taking a much deserved break over the coming weeks.

The office is closed from 20th December 2023, opening again on 2nd January 2024.

But fear not! It may feel like your enquiry has disappeared into the ether, never to be acknowledged with even so much as an out of office reply, but we promise it hasn’t. It’s sitting comfortably in our CRM assigned to a real person at =mc who will get back to you in the first week of January 2024 as soon as the office re-opens.

We really hope you’re able to carve out some time to look after yourself as well after a busy year fighting the good fights in the non-profit sectors – you deserve it, and Elf-care is vital!

In the mean time, help yourself to any of the insights from our knowledgebase below. There are hundreds of blogs, case studies and interviews on everything from influencing skills to time management, leadership practices to stakeholder management. Scroll down to see the latest additions.
