📢 IPA announces first speakers for our Personal Insolvency Conference returning to Manchester this autumn.

It provides 6 hours’ CPD and you will also have the opportunity to network with peers and prominent people in the profession at the drinks reception running from 17:30-18:30.   IPA events are selling out this year and we expect high demand for this event - reserve your place now: https://lnkd.in/ezh8TJbQ Thank you to our sponsors, MANOLETE PARTNERS Plc, Marsh and Henderson & Jones. #PersonalInsolvency
