Our speaker for the 7th June event is Mike Southon, FT Columnist, popular business and enterprise speaker and co-author of the best-selling “Beermat Entrepreneur” series of books. Mike’s presentation will cover a wide range of business issues, delivered with energy, style and humour. The main theme will be helping people to be more creative and entrepreneurial in both small and large organisations also touching on leadership, teamwork, mentoring, branding effective sales and business ethics.
Mike built and sold his own company in the 80s and worked on seventeen different start-ups in the 90s (two later went public, three went broke!). Mike Southon is now the UK’s leading entrepreneur mentor, and delivers over 100 presentations every year, all over the world.

“Mike Southon is more than Quite Interesting.
He spreads insight and cheerfulness in equal measure, like an ambidextrous chef
icing two cakes at once.”
