This session will look at valuing a business in the context of entering an insolvency process.  It will feature insights from leading valuers on approaches to business valuation, marketing strategies, and challenges in recommending sales—especially when directors are potential buyers and funds are recycled.  The valuers’ opinions will be appraised from the perspective of an evaluator reporting on the proposed transaction. Through realistic scenarios, you’ll gain practical understanding of compliance with SIPs 13 and 16 and the decision-making processes of valuers and evaluators. Ideal for insolvency professionals seeking clarity on valuations and evaluation reports.

Have you noticed how negative our brains can be at times? How easily it overthinks, gets stuck in loops of worry, sliding into rumination? In this engaging, accessible, and life-changing keynote, Andrew introduces you to your brain’s worry system — and, crucially, how to manage it day to day. Well-being isn’t just about cake or extra days off (although those certainly help). It turns out well-being is a skill, and like any skill, it can be learned and strengthened. You’ll leave this talk with a deeper understanding of your remarkable brain, alongside practical, neuroscience-informed strategies you can apply immediately to real life. This talk has the potential to change how you think, feel, and live — if you choose to use it.
