England rugby legend and former RAF Flight Lieutenant, Rory Underwood MBE DL, was the guest speaker for InvestSK’s Business Breakfast in Bourne this month.
Owner of Wingman Ltd – a management consultancy based in Grantham – Rory explained how he applies the skills and experience gained from his pilot and rugby careers to the business world and how cultural and commercial assumptions often made by CEOs can stop their business from growing.
Around 100 delegates attended the business event on Tuesday 25th February at the Corn Exchange in Bourne which included presentations from Cllr Kelham Cooke, Chairman of InvestSK and Leader of South Kesteven District Council, as well as InvestSK’s CEO, Steve Bowyer, who provided an update on InvestSK’s work to grow South Kesteven’s economy.
The event offered local businesses the opportunity to hear the latest news and economic insight from across the district and to network with other firms.
Steve Bowyer, CEO of InvestSK, South Kesteven’s economic growth and regeneration company, said: “Our Breakfast events are a great place to make new connections and find out what’s happening in South Kesteven – and most importantly, generate new business opportunities.
“We’re delighted that Rory, a local business leader in his own right, agreed to speak at our event in Bourne. He provided an interesting speech on how local companies can benefit from the incredible experiences and skills gained from his flying, rugby and business careers.”
