Driving Recovery Keynote Addresses
- Owning and operating a business brings with it an attachment to the core values and people employed. The business is your livelihood and something that in many cases has been built from the ground up or developed over an extended period of time. In challenging times creating change with the purpose of driving recovery can be hard as its lived 24/7 by the owner operator and we cannot deny that we are in a period of change. We are therefore very happy to introduce Richard Bradley, co-owner and financial director of Dyer Engineering, one of the regions best known smes in the engineering & manufacturing sector to provide his take on this critical subject.
- Sometimes companies reach a point where turnaround is required and a specialist is needed with the ability to take a business from its current position into a one of financial stability, driving recovery to a point where it can build a new future on a stable footing. To discuss this we introduce Harry Moore, a highly experienced International Strategist and Corporate Turnaround Director having led business transformation teams at both KPMG and PwC. He was adviser to Coutts Bank of London and a senior adviser to the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development. His turnarounds include Silver Cross Prams Ltd, Collets International Booksellers plc, Apple Resellers – East Midlands and Romag Ltd.
