Tuesday 13th October, 6 — 8:30pm: CODE Founders Series: How to keep a happy team while scaling your business

How do you keep your culture, values and team spirit intact as you add sites, people and complexity? Following the announcement of CODE’s Happiest Places to Work 2026 yesterday in partnership with Planday - you can see the full list here - this is a chance to hear directly from four of the businesses on how they did it. On our panel: Seb Shaw, operations director at Black Bear Burger (overall winner of CODE’s Happiest Places to Work 2026); Sian Danks, HR director at Clays; James Fryer, director of Woodhead Restaurant Group, and Lena Young, operations director at Bancone.

They’ll share what they’ve learnt about building a business while making sure growth doesn’t come at the expense of the culture that made the business successful in the first place.
