Inspiring stuff

We’re all for broadening our horizons at Trojan. So much so in fact, we set up the Trojan Book Club. And in true style, it captures more than books.

We try to make sure we all engage with a particular piece of communication that we think is either relevant to our situation, or, teaches valuable lessons we feel we should all learn.

There’s no prescribed way of thinking about what is put forward. It could as easily be a book about Literary Impressionism as it could a podcast on Marketing – so long as it ties into our mission.
