On behalf of the SSF UK Board of Directors, myself and Meg, we would like to wish all our members a very happy and prosperous new year.
Our long term strategy is to deliver growth in membership, services and geography UK-wide. This strategy will see SSF UK deliver on its vision to lead and encourage the evolution of Shared Services and to this effect, we will be working with our partners and members to ensure that we provide the thought leadership, inspiration and knowledge shares you have come to expect from the SSF UK forum.
We trust we can help you achieve your own objectives and challenges in 2018 aswell as celebrate and recognise exceptional talent by our Future Vision awards championing our values, Community, Leadership and Evolution.
We have an exciting year ahead, and new for 2018 is the development of a Network Hub which will support the existing Network Chairs and consist of a pool of talented and enthusiastic members who wish to take a more active part in the forum. Membership is by invitation and or recommendation and if you wish to hear a little bit more about this, please drop me a line, forum.manager@sharedservicesforumuk.com.
