The Ascent team was delighted to attend Westminster Abbey’s College Garden in June, for the official book launch of Monarchy and Democracy: A History of Leadership.
Written by a team of prominent academics and bestselling authors, including royal experts Robert Jobson, Russell Myers and Katie Nicholl, the landmark publication explores leadership of the UK and the Commonwealth.
Published by St James’s House in partnership with the History of Parliament Trust – one of the most authoritative academic research organisations in the UK – the book was unveiled to more than 500 attendees, including leading figures from parliament, industry and the media, as well as a host of special guests.
Ascent features in Volume 1 of this mammoth, 2 volume, 750-page publication, in the section dedicated to education and training, an example of achievement and progress from across a range of social, technological, commercial and cultural spheres.
A great testament to the work we do in close partnership with our UKMFTS colleagues.
Stephen van der Merwe, a Group Director at the SJH Group, said, “Through in-depth interviews with the leaders of companies such as Ascent, Monarchy and Democracy provides a compelling, first-hand perspective on how today’s pioneering organisations are shaping the future in a wide range of areas and industries.”
Our Deputy Managing Director, Adam Clink, was on hand to collect the publication, and copies will be displayed at our sites across the UK.
