The Australia-United Kingdom Chamber of Commerce proudly hosted the first event of the Future Leader Series, in partnership with CPA Australia, bringing together a group of aspiring leaders for an evening of inspiration and networking at Australia House.

Opening remarks were delivered by Deputy High Commissioner Elisabeth Bowes PSM and Catherine Riney FCPA from CPA Australia.

The event featured an engaging panel discussion with guest speakers Kristy Eden-Green FCPA from the Bank of England and Christopher Crellin FCPA from Sony Music Entertainment UK & Ireland.

Guided by Lucy Hamnett from Accenture, the session explored the speakers' journeys from early career stages to becoming influential leaders in their fields. They discussed the challenges they encountered and the opportunities they embraced along the way.

The evening concluded with closing remarks from Kayne Bell from CPA Australia and a lively networking session.

We look forward to continuing this series and supporting the development of the next generation of accounting and finance professionals.
