47% of our members say finding developers is top priority! Building those education-to-industry pathways is crucial - getting brilliant students into companies that need them. When academic minds meet industry challenges... that's where the real innovation happens. #musictech #education #talent

The Turnpike Lane Bottle Bandit strikes again! Years of marking his territory with Budweiser bottles - cost me a tyre once. I've developed a weird respect for his dedication to parking warfare. #NorthLondonLife
