Today I was at the AFC Bournemouth stadium for annual employment law update with Paul Burton of ViewHR and Bond Williams Professional Recruitment. Two thoughts: 1. How are employers actually going to keep employing people in future when it's becoming ever more restrictive? 2. How can I get my garden looking as neat as the pitch? Answers on a postcard to either of those thoughts please.
