Whether that resonates for you, or your business has reached a size where these roles are embodied by different individuals, understanding the different characteristics and legal liabilities of each of these different roles can be extremely confusing and is often never fully understood. When you aspire to achieve the elevated heights of a director, a manager or indeed an owner (which can mean taking on all 3) the rewards come with risks and responsibilities attached.

This workshop explores these different roles and the liabilities attached to each of them and insights on:
