Anand Menon
Director of UK in a Changing Europe
A regular guest on radio and television such as Question Time, Newsnight, the Today programme and Radio 4 – Anand will kick the day off with a thought-provoking session on geopolitical landscapes and Britain’s place in it. He’ll be focusing on how advisers can navigate in a world of uncertainty.
James Ashley

We’ll be starting the year with a session that cuts through the noise. James will be in conversation with our Chief Investment Officer Peter Dalgliesh to unpack the trends, pressures and opportunities that will steer investment in 2026. James is a Let’s Grow favourite for a reason – sharp analysis, clear thinking and a charismatic style.

Part Two and Three will be announced very soon.
