    Members meeting featuring mini-training session from Alison Pollecut of Excel Confident.

    Think you know Excel? Think again.

    If you’re still battling clunky spreadsheets, endless manual tasks, and the odd “mystery error,” this session is for you. Alison will share clever quick wins to speed up what you already do—plus some surprisingly powerful features that most people don’t even realise Excel can handle.

    Expect plenty of “why didn’t I know that?!” moments, and come away with smarter, faster ways to work—letting Excel do the heavy lifting while you take the credit.

    Join us and find out more.
