While many established businesses are generating revenue and even profit\, cash can still feel tight. Growth\, rising costs\, and slower payment cycles are putting increasing pressure on working capital – and without clear visibility and control\, even strong businesses can find themselves constrained. Through a real-life case study\, we’ll explore how cashflow challenges develop\, where control is often lost\, and what business owners can do to strengthen their financial position. \nSession Schedule: \n\n10:30-11:00 – Arrival\, coffee & networking\n11:00 – 11:45 – Cashflow Workshop (MPA)\n11:45-12:30 – Lunch (Provided by event organisers)\n\nWhat we’ll cover: \n\nUnderstanding cashflow in a scaling business\nWhy growth increases pressure on cash — and how to stay in control.\nA real business scenario\nStep through a case study to see how cashflow challenges build over time and how they can be identified earlier.\nRevenue\, profit and cash — the critical differences\nMake better decisions by understanding what your numbers are really telling you.\nWhere cash gets tied up\nFrom invoicing and payment terms to stock\, staffing and overheads.\nStrengthening your financial position\nPractical ways to improve working capital and create more stability.\nBuilding confidence in your numbers\nHow to use cashflow insight to support better planning and decision-making.\n\nWhy attend: \n\nGain greater control and visibility over your cashflow.\nUnderstand how to support sustainable\, confident growth.\nLearn from real-world scenarios\, not just theory.\nWalk away with practical actions you can apply immediately.\nConnect with other local business owners.\n\nBonus: \nAll attendees will have the opportunity to book a free 30-minute 1-2-1 session with an MPA expert to discuss their business and next steps. \nMeet the speaker: \nSamantha Wildman (Director – MPA) Samantha is a highly experienced business adviser and Group Client Director at MPA\, where she also sits on the Board.

SUMMARY:#12: "Resilient Payment Systems: How bank transfers actually work (most of the time)" by Jacek Miloszewski and "There's No Such Thing As Plain Text" by Dylan Beattie
DESCRIPTION:Schedule #\n\n\n18:00 – 18:30\nMeet and Greet\n\n\n18:30 – 19:00\n“Resilient Payment Systems: How bank transfers actually work (most of the time)” by Jacek Miloszewski \nEver wondered what happens behind the scenes when you send money? In this talk\, I’ll take you under the hood of how Form3 helps banks handle inter-bank transfers at scale. We’ll dive into the high-stakes world of security\, compliance\, and volume\, and how we’ve built the architecture (and the teams) to handle it all. I’ll cover the practical side of running a mission-critical system\, including: scaling teams\, regulatory hurdles and hardened security. \n\n\n\n19:00 – 19:15\nBreak\n\n\n19:15 – 19:45\n“There’s No Such Thing As Plain Text” by Dylan Beattie \nWhen we say something is a plain text file\, we’re relying on a huge number of assumptions – about operating systems\, editors\, file formats\, language\, culture\, history… and\, most of the time\, that’s OK. But when it goes wrong\, good old plain text can lead to some of the weirdest bugs you’ve ever seen. Join Dylan Beattie for a fascinating look into the hidden world of text files – from the history of mechanical teletypes\, to how emoji skin tones actually work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility #\nOur venue is wheelchair accessible\, and we provide on-site assistance for anyone requiring additional support during the meetup. While we currently do not offer live captioning for talks\, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment and welcome all participants. Please contact the organisers with any specific accessibility requirements. \n\n\nFood and drinks #\nLearning new things and socialising with others is a lot easier when you are properly energised. Pizza\, some sweets and beverages are on us. There is something for everyone: pepperoni pizza\, vegan ones\, fizzy drinks\, water and a selection of beers. You are welcome!
