CBRE & Multiverse Application

 Hi all

Last day to apply for the supplier data programmes - funded by CBRE and run by Multiverse.

We have had 12 applicants and 37 people attend info sessions, which has been fab.

It's been a real pleasure to meet a diverse group of companies - all looking to upskill and excel in their roles.

Last comms from me on this, I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know!!!

1. If you are interested in joining the cohort, please make sure you have completed your Multiverse Application before COP today
