Networking with guest speaker Terry Carrol
Venue: 3 Albion Place, Leeds, LS1 6JL
Speaker: Terry Carrol
This month’s speaker has many talents and quite possibly the most diverse CV in the Leeds Business Community. Terry has worked in many banks and building societies including Financial Director for National And Provincial Building Society and Treasurer for HBOS. He's also ghost written some of Duncan Bannatyne's autobiography and is also a regular football pundit for the Manchester Evening News. Our networking events give you the opportunity to present your organisation to a wide range of businesses and exchange contact details with potential clients and suppliers, as well as learn from our speakers who have 'been there and done it'. Impress the boss, tell them you're going to attend JCI Leeds networking for lunch and help build the future of the company. Networking is about brand building, it's about making new connections for the long term. New people = new opportunities. Networking IS NOT selling.
Fee payable: Members £10.00 / Non-members £18.00
