The public sector is going through the biggest transformation in modern times. In the last couple of years we’ve seen departments merge, re brand and sometimes disappear completely, but that doesn’t mean that the work they did just disappears.
 
In order to increase efficiency more departments are looking at hot desking and flexible working, with this comes risk associated with data and Cyber security. So how do departments make data accessible whilst making is easy enough for people to gain access?
 
The relationship between central government and the private sector is also changing. The relationship is now more of a partnership as oppose to client-supplier due the fact that with the demand landscape constantly changing suppliers need to be flexible enough to adapt to the changing needs of the department they are supplying to. As well as having to manage their relationships with their suppliers differently, Central Government are also having to work with localised public sector organisations in a different way, whether it be an NHS Trust, Local Authority or Blue Light organisation. 

During this meeting, all attendees will be able to share their own experiences and the challenges they are currently facing. In addition, you will then have the opportunity to look at different ways of addressing these problems and an overall look at where we were, where we are and what needs to be done to get to where we need to be.

HORWOOD HOUSE HOTEL
Mursley Road, Little Horwood, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire MK17 0PH

Welcome to the most beautiful, independent hotel, spa and estate in Buckinghamshire.

We’ve undergone a £6 million renovation, and every penny has been spent making Horwood House into your place in the country, where you’ll always receive a warm welcome.

As you arrive, you see the grand arts & craft style Manor House, a grade II listed building, at the end of the sweeping drive. We are its proud custodians and we’ve carefully preserved it for guests to enjoy as a photogenic backdrop to a celebration or a luxurious stay. 

Our newer, and just as lavish, contemporary wing is a fusion of cool scandi chic and botanical motifs. You’ll discover harmonious spaces and refurbished bedrooms that reflect our 38 acres of woods, lawns and wildlife. Just like our historic gardens, it’s literally a breath of fresh air.

The transformation hasn’t just been all about the architecture either, it’s about experiencing hospitality from the heart. It’s more than friendly staff, great food and cosy rooms. (Although we have buckets of that too).

It’s your home from home, so consider us your family. Don’t be surprised if we stop to chat, we love to get to know our guests. 

Right from the start, we wanted to create more than just a hotel. Somewhere with a special spot just for you. A place to make memories. 

Come and celebrate with us, share your wedding day, relax in our spa with your besties, bring the kids (and dogs) or get down to business. 

Our door is always open, so kick off your shoes and visit us often.
