CEO Ali Stathers-Tracey, who was appointed last year, commented: “Our Open Day today was an opportunity to network and meet with old friends and new as we threw open the doors to this wonderful HQ. 

“We are very grateful to everyone involved, who has helped make the whole move and our event today so successful.
