📈 A Year of Growth
The past year has been a busy year for GMS in the UK and Europe with Masterclasses, social events and a new initiative for European expansion and outreach. We’ve welcomed new members, launched new member resources, partnerships and discounts, brought our community together through educational programming both online and in-person.
