The 9th August 2022 marks International Book Lovers Day – an annual event celebrating the joy of reading.
This year, our team came together to give their recommendations on books that have guided, inspired and motivated them through business and their careers to date. We asked each of the team to tell us why they selected the book they did. We’ve included the details below and hope that they encourage and delight you as much as they have our team.
