Three of Swindon’s leading experts on employment law are to share a platform at a free, one-off event offering businesses of all sizes and sectors a unique opportunity to get an update on vital employment-related issues.
The event takes place at the Swindon Marriott Hotel on October 13 and is staged by the Swindon Mindful Employer Network, which supports businesses on mental health and well-being issues, in association with the Swindon Chamber of Commerce and Swindon Business News.
On the panel will be Paul Archer of Lemon&Co, Malcolm Gregory of Withy King and Kerrie Hunt of Thrings. Those attending will get the chance to put questions to the lawyers.
The meeting will be chaired by Melanie Richens, a trained solicitor. She said: “Many employers are bewildered by the complexities of employment law – which, of course, is subject to constant changes by Parliament and the EU.
“I strongly urge managers, professionals and business people to attend this free question time and bring themselves up to date with the latest developments.”
Richmond Fellowship Wiltshire’s David Latham, who manages the Swindon Mindful Employer Network, added: “This is a unique opportunity for the local business community to attend an event which provides top-class advice to Swindon companies and employers from all sectors. We are grateful to Kerrie, Malcolm and Paul for their commitment and giving up their very valuable time.”
Swindon Marriott is hosting the event as part of its ongoing support to the network. General manager Adam Flint said: “This will be a terrific networking event with the added incentive of learning something extremely useful for your business."

The event starts with networking at 6pm and will finish at 7.30pm.
Meanwhile the Swindon Strategic Economic Partnership (SSEP) is the latest organisation to back the Swindon Mindful Employer Network.
The SSEP is responsible for developing and promoting the economic well-being of Swindon and is actively working with many of the town’s employers and business organisations.
David Latham, of the network, said: “It is not everyday that the SSEP gives its support to local organisations but we are thrilled that, from now on, our publicity material will include a logo from the SSEP – a very high-profile body which is positively influencing the lives of local people.”
SSEP chair Rikki Hunt said: “The Swindon Mindful Employer Network has an important role to play in supporting businesses and their staff in the borough. I believe the town benefits from this initiative by promoting Swindon as a great place to live and work.”
