From Canberra to London: Robbie Wilson’s workation with F. W. Smith, Riches & Co.
A recent trip to London gave Robbie Wilson from MGI Joyce|Dickson the opportunity to experience working life at another MGI Worldwide member firm, while also making the most of his time in the city.
During his workcation, Robbie spent time with MGI Worldwide Chair Jane Lowden, and UK & Ireland NextGen IC member Sophie Woodburn, alongside other team members at F. W. Smith, Riches & Co. Working with his London colleagues gave him the chance to experience a different working environment, growing his own professional network and building closer relationships with other MGI members.
“Hosting Robbie in London was a great opportunity to create connections across MGI and gain valuable international perspectives. Experiences like this highlight the opportunities that come from being part of a global network, strengthening relationships, encouraging collaboration, and enabling the exchange of ideas between firms.” — Sophie Woodburn
Building trusted relationships
While MGI Worldwide members regularly connect across borders, spending time together in person helps build the trusted relationships that make future collaboration easier.
Workcations like Robbie’s give our people the Power to Grow by opening up new experiences and opportunities to learn from international colleagues. These closer relationships also strengthen the support members can provide when clients need advice or assistance in another country.
Away from the office, Robbie explored some of London’s best-known sights and attended an Arsenal match, soaking up the atmosphere during a memorable title-winning occasion.
“It was a fantastic experience to work alongside the team in London and see how another MGI firm operates. Everyone made me feel incredibly welcome, and it was great to build those relationships in person while experiencing everything the city has to offer. The office location right downtown is a major bonus!” — Robbie Wilson
Robbie’s visit shows how workcations can support professional development and strengthen the relationships that connect our firms and people everywhere.
Thank you to Jane, Sophie and the wider team at F. W. Smith, Riches & Co for making Robbie feel so welcome.
