Business convention speakers unveiled

He will be joined by Michelle Mone, the lingerie entrepreneur, and Rene Carayol, the business guru and author, at the convention which takes place in Harrogate and Bridlington this summer.

Mike Firth, the chief executive, said: "We have still to announce the main speaker but when you look at the quality of the speakers we have already got I'm absolutely confident that this year's convention will fully live up to our motto of 'Inspiring people: inspiring people'.

"Even though there are signs of an improvement in the economy businesses still need to be thinking outside the box if they are to succeed, and all three of these speakers know all about doing just that."

He added: "They all have fascinating stories to tell and they are all great story-tellers. But the Convention isn't just about entertaining our delegates, it's about giving them the opportunity to hear from people who can inspire them to lead and manage their businesses more successfully.

"For all our delegates time is money but I guarantee anyone coming to the convention will find it's time well spent."

This year's Convention is being held on Friday, June 11. For further details visit the web site on www.yibc.biz
