HIVE In Action: Team BFC engage with BFBS Training

Our Army HIVE team in Cyprus recently underwent team training with their local BFBS colleagues, and learnt how to present and record an audio script.

Whilst most of the team were initially a bit nervous about doing this, they totally got on board and embraced learning these new skills working with our BFBS partners. They have now produced a recording that will be used to promote how HIVE’s service can help the BFC community via BFBS radio and other audio channels on Island.

Well done HIVE team BFC, and thanks to the Cyprus BFBS team for facilitating such a valuable team training session.
