My personal highlight from Q2 was the Hachette Learning Summer Brunch and HUK Discover Day. There’s something truly special about the energy, effort, and dedication that everyone brings to our company events. Just like the Together Conference in March, the Summer Brunch provides us with a sense of unity and togetherness – aligning perfectly again with the magazine and its purpose. Even though I couldn’t negotiate better weather, it was still a fantastic day filled with great moments and connections! Please enjoy the photos later in the magazine - they capture the spirit of the day perfectly. The day felt truly complete with all of us heading over to HUK Discover, alongside all the divisions that make up Hachette UK.

A MESSAGE FROM SESHNI Before diving into the brilliant success stories of Q2, I want to begin by recognising the incredible number of submissions the Communications team received for the second edition of the Together Magazine. It fills me with so much pride and appreciation to see the amount of teams and individuals taking the time to share their highlights from the past quarter. Not only has this made me excited for this issue, but also for the many future editions to come. Getting involved in the Together Magazine is something I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to do. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with every member of our Hachette Learning community and shine a light on the success stories that define our business. What makes this issue even more special is that each submission reflects the spirit of Owner Mentality – the core pillar that guided us throughout Q2.
fundamental pillar for us as a business, and he brilliantly navigates the ways we should all ‘Think like an Owner’ by making cost-conscious decisions. Owner Mentality drives efficiency across all areas of our business and encourages us to step outside of our comfort zones by adjusting our priorities to better suit the business’ needs, whether this is financially or culturally. This has undoubtedly been demonstrated expertly by numerous individuals throughout Q2, but two people have shown an extraordinary Owner Mentality, and I’m beyond excited for you all to read more about Sarah Baron and Angela McCabe on the next page. Every single one of you bring us another step closer to achieving our mission. Here’s to a brilliant Q3!
