Freshmill Forum is a monthly event that brings together our members and the wider local business community to share practical knowledge and connect with one another.

Each session features a short, 20-30 minute presentation from a Freshmill member on a transferrable skill, as well as an opportunity to meet new faces and network with the local business community.  It also goes without saying that what Freshmill event would be complete without excellent freshly ground coffee and a selection of delicious cakes on offer!

Freshmill Forum this March will be presented long-time Freshmill resident Duncan Wood-Allum and Freddie Dean of SLC; The Sport, Leisure and Culture Consultancy. SLC is a strategic consultancy advising the public sector on sport, physical activity, health and wellbeing. In practice, this means supporting councils to develop sport, physical activity and wellbeing strategies, with projects delivered for cities across the UK.

Duncan founded SLC in 2009 and is regarded as one of the leading strategic advisors to the public leisure sector and local government.  His 37-year career spans working in inner city sports facilities, schools, 10 years on local governments, central government, specialist and FTSE 100 Blue chip consultancies.

After graduating from Bournemouth University with a first-class honours degree in Sport Management, Freddie joined SLC in March 2024 as a Research Consultant and was quickly promoted to Consultant having embedded himself as a key member of the team.

Duncan and Freddie will speak about SLC’s journey over the last 16 years and key lessons learned in:
