It was a fantastic day in our Toronto office yesterday while I'm working from away in Canada for a few weeks, and spending quality time with our Sage Canada colleagues, especially in my home city of Toronto! Thanks again to Mark Hickman and team for taking the time with me - loved it and hope to see you all again soon when I'm back in Canada visiting family, friends, and of course, our awesome Sage Canada team!
