Last Thursday 100 recruitment leaders came together for another TRN members’ meeting, at the prestigious Kensington Roof Gardens – another fantastic meeting full of great content, inspiring speakers, engaged members and all within a unique and quirky venue (with added flamingos)!
The debates, discussions and peer-to-peer collaboration was nonstop all day and into the night, only interrupted by the various thought leaders and presenters who took to the stage…
Mark Pollock delivered a stirring story of personal determination
Mark Pollock
The day kicked off with the Inspirational Mark Pollock, who recounted his unbelievable and humbling story of how he first lost his sight yet persevered through his disability to reach the South Pole. He was then struck with more bad luck as he became paralysed following a fall, yet still pushed himself to achieve some phenomenal feats, many of which are pushing the boundaries of science, robotics and bioscience.
Mark’s talk touched deeply on the importance of not giving up, perseverance and the power that’s held within collaboration and being the conduit that brings people together. It was a powerful start to the morning and a wakeup call to many of us.
James Johnson taught the power of inclusion and diversity
James Johnson
Next up was James Johnson, talking about Diversity and Inclusion in the workplace. James is the group CEO of Nicoll Curtin, a recruitment agency that has won many awards for their outstanding working environments and what James spoke about is based on their award winning success.
He taught us the power of diversity and what we sometimes miss especially when we grow as a company, the power of inclusion and the effects it can have on performance and a healthy and productive workplace.
Mark Robb gave us an engaging talk on leadership & engagement
Mark Robb
One of the most well received speakers of our day Mark Robb, had our members enchanted with his engaging, value packed talk about leadership and engagement.
Mark talked about the 28 factors needed to create the best conditions to be a leader with four ‘Meta themes’ as a takeaway at the end – members frantically writing action plans to take back to their teams to drive greater engagement.
Data and GDPR the spotlight was an interesting mix of experts

Our spotlight hosted 3 experts covering 3 key topics; Daniel Dackombe sales director for LinkedIn, Dan McGuire CEO of cube19 and Lucy Kendall GDPR Expert and co-founder of Comply GDPR.
