THE UK CONSULT | Episode 30: Welcome to Bang the Table UK Siân Lomax! Let's Talk Climate Action
The UK Consult is..........BACK! Leaner, trimmer, and of course we're NOT talking about Jonno & Elt! The UK Consult (Version 2.0) makes its hugely anticipated return, and the boys kick off post-sabbatical with a cracker, and a special guest to boot! A Wondrously Warm Bang the Table UK Welcome to Siân Lomax! A mere four days into her new employment at Bang the Table UK as an Engagement Manager, Jonno & Elt had already subjected Siân to a guest appearance on the UK Consult, a fairly terrifying experience for even the most hardy of celebrities to face! They were keen to ask Siân all about her in-depth digital engagement experience, having worked previously at West Yorkshire Combined Authority as a Bang the Table UK client. (You can see their site in full HERE)! Also, importantly, here's a photo of Siân with an Alpaca! (Importantly NEVER to be confused with a Llama!)
