Business 101 Roundtable: Communicate with Confidence
Effective communication sits at the heart of every successful organisation. Whether you're leading a team, managing stakeholders, pitching an idea, handling difficult conversations, or raising your profile, the ability to communicate with clarity and confidence can be a real differentiator.
Join us for an insightful session with Tejas Kotecha, Founder of Tejas Kotecha Communications, who brings over 20 years of broadcasting experience from Sky News and Sky Sports. Throughout his career, communication has been central to breaking major news stories, securing exclusive interviews, and working with senior leaders, including in his role as Chair of Sky Sports' Ethnicity and Inclusion Network.
Drawing on lessons from the fast-paced world of live broadcasting, Tejas will share practical techniques that can help professionals at every level become more impactful communicators.

The people I have met here make it a dream coming in a few times a week! I don't see myself being able to go back to working from home the same way I did before coming to Plus X Innovation, I don't think I could leave the sense of community behind. It really is something everyone who is working from home should try!
Central Research Laboratory has contributed to our journey in many ways: access to a network, manufacturing, procurement services, and workshop facilities. CRL enables us to feel like a slightly bigger company than we would otherwise be if left to our own devices. Being here at CRL as a cohort member, makes it feel a lot more real and plugged in into the ecosystem.
Besides the workshop facilities, the best thing about working in the Brighton hub has got to be being able to collaborate with people in the same building as you. The variety of expertise and experience in the building is awesome.
We could not be in a better place to grow as a company. We get amazing support from the Plus X Innovation staff, plus collaboration opportunities with the other inspiring residents and companies. We feel like we’re living in the future of workplaces in the present and that is pretty damn cool.
Through my time at Plus X Innovation my business has turned from a student project into a registered R&D company. My favourite thing about being at Plus X Brighton is having a mini family in the office and a beautiful space to be the best you and make the best connections.
