Working
together   We recognise your needs are changing and are likely to
           evolve moving forward. That is why we are focused on
           understanding your needs, and your customers.

           We are excited to propose a new way of working with you
           to make sure you’re part of the product development
           journey. To support this we are launching an ongoing
           consultation programme that will allow us to collaborate
           with you and build a future product roadmap that is
           meaningful to both of us.

           Now is the time to share your feedback and tell us if the
           products and services that we are proposing will help
           you grow your business and meet your customer
           requirements.
