In this episode, Katy caught up with national business owner Duncan Foster, Managing Director of Choices Health Clubs. Delegation is a topic that comes up frequently for us when working alongside our clients.

Unfortunately, learning to 'let go' is absolutely key in a business. Duncan gives some fascinating insights into his personal experiences, and to why he feels that learning to let go is an absolute must for business leaders.
