Town Hall Meeting. Friday 13th May

On Friday 13th May, we held our scheduled town hall meeting (THM) hosted by CEO Dennis van Schie. Our guest presenter, CFO Jonathan Spight, discussed, quite openly, our budget v's forecast results year-to-date. Ensure you watch the video to capture Jonathan's updates in "his own words". If you find finance terminology hard to understand, make sure you book yourself for the Finance for Non Finance course (open to LL2 - Leadership Level 2 and above) to understand Jonathan's updates better.

Moments of Inspiration

Struggling through a big read, Dennis shifted his moments of inspiration to the most recent Lindengruppen global management conference and Lindengruppen integrated annual and sustainability report. Value Creation Model, Inner Development Goals and much more were all topics of his conversation. Check out the dedicated article to this by clicking here.

In the last Pulse Survey on Corporate Communications, many of you asked for updates on Lindengruppen. The overview from Dennis and the news article are our start to delivering this to you. For the full summary of the last Pulse Survey, review the news article just published by clicking here.

Business Updates

We highly recommend watching the video if you missed the live session, as it's worth getting direct updates from Dennis. In this session, he spoke about:

• Shanghai is still in lockdown, and for everyone to be mindful of this when making requests with China.
• With the war in Ukraine, increase in interest rates, and economies shrinking, it is crucial to prepare Colart for challenging times. With sales behind, cost savings and ring-fencing are planned to ensure the ongoing sustainability of the business.

Look Out For

• Our next Town Hall Meeting will be held on Friday 10th June. This has been postponed by one week due to the extended UK Public Holiday commemorating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
