This year, National Children's Day UK fell on Sunday, 12th May. 💙 Inspired by this day, we are keen to encourage more children to read. That's why we partnered with a local independent bookstore to donate free books to a primary school in Camberwell. These are some books that the children chose for their collection. We believe in the power of a good book and the importance of fostering young readers. Happy National Children's Day! 🎈📖 #NCDUK2024

Congratulations to our authors Yvonne Corpuz, Julia Hobsbawm and Paul Gregg on the publication day of their wonderful books. 📚 Yvonne Corpuz, a global leader at a variety of international firms, invites us on a spiritual journey with her in 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘬𝘰𝘬𝘶. After a career setback, Yvonne found solace in a 1,400-kilometre pilgrimage across Japan's most mystical island, visiting eighty-eight temples in eight days. 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘬𝘰𝘬𝘶 is a stunning travelogue that intertwines pilgrimage, self-discovery and Japan’s rich culture, captivating the hearts of all seekers and travellers. Julia Hobsbawm, an award-winning writer who predicted the rise of hybrid working in her 2022 book, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘰𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘖𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦, is back with 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. In this insightful exploration, Julia examines 'The Amazing Age' – a period marked by unprecedented technological and cultural shifts. Prefaced by Professor Lynda Gratton of London Business School, the book delves into the impact of Covid-19 and ChatGPT on six work-related areas: jobs, skills, workplace, culture, wellbeing and generational attitudes. It blends data with popular cultural references, featuring illustrations by humans and ChatGPT. Paul Gregg, the man behind the Apollo Leisure Group, shares his captivating journey in 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘗𝘢𝘴𝘴. From hosting renowned shows like 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 and 𝘓𝘦𝘴 𝘔𝘪𝘴é𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴 to working with stars like Dean Martin, Liza Minnelli and Queen, Paul's story is a testament to determination and passion. It's a candid, inspiring reflection on his extraordinary life – from a northern England council estate to the vibrant entertainment industry and his co-ownership of Everton F.C. #newbooks #newreleases #auhtors #publishing #publicationday
