“I got a pocket,
got a pocketful of sunshine”
- Natasha Bedingfield

 

As summer settles in and the days stretch longer, there’s a renewed energy in the air. Sunshine has a way of lifting our spirits, recharging our minds, and inspiring fresh ideas. Whether you're taking time to unwind outdoors or simply enjoying the extra daylight, this season invites us all to pause, reconnect, and look ahead with optimism.

Here at SNI, we've been harnessing that same energy to grow, innovate, and collaborate in exciting new ways. Scroll down to catch up on what we’ve been up to, and see how we’re making the most of this vibrant season.
