In analysing how these issues affect businesses, we develop a more entrepreneurial mindset.  

“On Monday 6 May, everyone is encouraged to enter this mass participation mile taking place along Oxford’s High Street. Think of it like a London Marathon style event, but through the beautiful streets of Oxford, finishing on Iffley Road at the site where Roger Bannister made history 70 years ago.”
