Owl’s Eye View | Issue 18

Welcome to Issue 18 of the Owl’s Eye View.

As we pass the halfway mark of 2026, it felt like a good moment to stop and look at what the team’s been up to across the globe before we get into the back half.

We hope you enjoy this issue, and as always, if any of this sparks a conversation, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch today.
