From leadership lessons to market advice, September gave us plenty to reflect on and share.
Here’s a look back at the highlights from Fruition Group Ireland:
Ask the Recruiter: Joe Cox
Our Ask the Recruiter series returned with Joe Cox, Head of Practice & Cloud Specialist. From recruiter myths to the font that makes a CV stand out, Joe’s answers were equal parts useful and unexpected.

Jenny Wood didn’t set out for a career in technology, but through call centres, HR, telecoms, and financial services, she built the experience that now makes her Group CIO at Skipton Building Group.
In this Diary of a CIO episode with Sarah Pawson, Jenny shares:
- The impact of leading in both Australia and the UK
- Why fresh perspectives (including crisp packets) are key to better questions
- How to avoid replacing one process with another
