On Thursday evening, I was delighted to attend the second Elmbridge Business Conference in Weybridge. I joined a number of senior business professionals and civic leaders for a Question Time style debate to discuss the opportunities for Britain post-Brexit. I was joined on the panel by Kathy Slack, Executive Director of the M3 Local Enterprise Partnership, Henk Potts, Director of Global Research & Investments at Barclays, Dominic List, CEO and Founder of Comtact, a cyber security company, and Julianne Ponan, who is Founder and CEO of Creative Nature in Molesey which just won a small business of the year award.
The floor was opened up to questions from the audience, made up of representatives from local businesses. I took questions on the Brexit negotiations, the benefits of free trade for the UK and the prospects for England in the World Cup!
My thanks to Doug Perkins at Elmbridge Borough Council for the invitation and to the other panellists for such a thoughtful and fun debate.
