Last week, we had the privilege of being inspired by philanthropist, author, and ocean adventurer Greg Bertish - founder of The Little Optimist, which we recently supported through our CSI initiatives.

In line with our Exploration value, Greg challenged us to approach work and life with curiosity, courage, and an exploratory mindset.

We paired this with our first Lunch Club - lunch served by Denkers, for Denkers. The exploration theme continued with a Greek-inspired menu for the day. Excited to carry this new tradition forward!

Markets rally, and so do we.

Last week we finished a team strategy session with a fun (and slightly competitive) afternoon on the padel courts.

Barry de K**k, Nigel Barnes and Jan Meintjes topped the leaderboard, and a few fun prizes were handed out too.

The wind was strong – but nothing compared to our spirits. 😊
