Welcome to March
So this year is flying by with lots of things to look forward to. The budget will be high on every business owner's radar on Wednesday followed by one more month of lockdown before things begin to ease in April.
So this will no doubt be a month of planning for most of us itching to get back to a life of in-person meetings and events, even it's just a cup of coffee on a bench outside with a long-missed friend.
We have got a number of virtual events for you while we're gearing up to get back into real life after June 21st – I can't wait!
Event
March 3rd: John Stapleton on “Turning Uncertainty into Competitive Advantage”

John speaks on a range of entrepreneurial/ intrapreneurial & motivational leadership topics. He uses his experience creating & growing businesses to understand the challenges that face us all, particularly in uncertain times, and how we can overcome them.
Through story-telling and the use of numerous lessons, anecdotes and experiences from 35 years of creating, growing and exiting his own businesses and advising many others, John explain to audiences how to turn uncertainty into competitive advantage by:

Stephen is a serial entrepreneur, World citizen and protagonist for World Peace. Born in the UK, he has also lived and/or worked in Russia, Spain, Chile, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Germany, USA, Turkey and China.

After discovering Goal Mapping at Anthony Robbins’ Date With Destiny in 2006, his 10-year Goals all came together in 2016! In 2017 he was introduced to Brian Mayne, who had invented the Goal Mapping system, and they have become close friends.

Goal Mapping can be used to attain your dreams and aspirations in general life, relationships, and business.
Elite Business Live
After such a challenging 2020, we understand that it’s tricky to know where to turn when trying to grow your SME, tackle new pain points, or even take your business overseas. This is why we’ve partnered with Elite Business Live – a virtual event where you can hear from the people who have been where you are today, those who have overcome the same hurdles, dealt with similar failings, and successfully come out the other side.
Talking through their personal journeys and experiences, our 50 entrepreneurs will be joined by Oli Barrett, our incredible event host. Voted as one of GQ’s Most Connected Men, Oli is often referred to as the hardest-working man in networking who has even earned an MBE for his business activities. A serial co-founder, Oli has helped to start numerous ventures, facing every challenge you have. And he’s not alone:
Lara Morgan, founder, and former CEO of Pacific Direct also has experience in abundance.
Starting the business in 1991, the first sale she made was a miniature sewing kit to the Dorchester Hotel. And over the course of 20 years, Pacific Direct has become the forefront of licensing toiletries for the hotel industry. With a track record of delivering exceptional, accelerated growth, Lara will join the Commercial Business Growth panel on day one as the keynote speaker. As an inspirational leader, she is also a regular commentator on current affairs and business issues with Sky News and BBC News, plus an appearance on BBC2’s show The Apprentice: You’re Fired.
Joined by Lara will be serial entrepreneur Piers Linney.
Known as a champion of entrepreneurship and growth businesses, Piers is an ex-Dragon’s Den investor and The Secret Millionaire contestant. With experience across a range of sectors, including technology, media, and converged communications, Piers will be delivering the keynote for Commercial Business Growth on day two – and he is definitely one not to miss.
