June Newsletter

Welcome to our June update. We've had a very exciting last month with a busy exhibition in London and a lot of buzz about AI and in particular Microsoft Copilot.

Pro Drive were exhibiting at the two day Accountex exhibition at ExCel, London. It was great to catch up with existing accountancy clients and meet the many new faces who took part in our benchmarking survey.

ome of the team also took part in the very first 'Woking Workrun' combining business networking and a 5km run organised by our very own Matt Taylor. Check out the Workrun Eventbrite page if you fancy joining in next month!
