- This programme has started and is very popular. In April we have heard from Bawren Tavaziva – sharing his experience of growing up a Zimbabwe township and coming to England for the first time and experiencing snow! And how he used his Africa influence as a stimulus for his work and signature movement. This was followed by a CPD where attendees learnt about Bawren’s practise. In May we heard from brand guru Rob Macpherson, his entry into the world of consultancy and his top tips and some tools on how to start thinking about your brand.
