Directors Circle is an exclusive, invite-only community for business owners and directors who share a growth mindset and the ambition to drive one another towards greater success.

Its next quarterly event will be held on 17th September (8 am – 1 pm), focusing on strategic innovation and growth opportunities in 2026.

Topics include:

  • Innovation – Leveraging AI
  • Strategic Productivity – Identifying your opportunities
  • Profitable Growth – Capitalising on your sweet spot

Please note: attendance at Directors Circle is strictly by invitation only. If you are interested in being considered, you can express your interest with rchampaneri@dains.com.

In support of LSW, Directors Circle has also created a Lunch & Learn session (1 pm – 2 pm) that is open to all Life Sciences Week attendees. This will explore how to maximise the benefits of R&D tax relief and the Patent Box regime within the Life Sciences industry.

With HMRC scrutiny on R&D claims increasing and recent changes to the regimes, businesses must understand how this could impact future claims and investment decisions. The session will also cover how the Patent Box can reduce corporation tax on profits from patented innovations to just 10%, making it an increasingly attractive incentive.

If you would like to express interest in the invite-only Directors Circle, please get in touch with rchampaneri@dains.com

If you would like to attend the Lunch & Learn, book your tickets using the Get Tickets link on this page. Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
