Fit For Business Success

Around 100 business leaders came together for the Fit for Business Conference this week hosted by Medicash in association with Insider.

The event, held in Liverpool's Crowne Plaza attracted delegates from across the region who took part in a packed programme designed to give business owners and managers new leadership techniques as well as the opportunity to debate economic issues.

Dynamic presentations from some of the UK's leading business gurus took place throughout the day which was chaired by Insider's editorial director Michael Taylor.  The event concluded with a keynote address from Gerald Ratner, Chair of the online jewellers Gerald Online, who delivered a motivational speech charting the spectacular downfall of Ratners and his remarkable comeback.

Perry Timms Head of Talent and Organisational Development at Big Lottery said: "Fit for Business was nothing short of a rip roaring success. The content was rich, refreshing and stimulating and all the presenters delivered fascinating presentations designed to challenge people's thinking.  There was a real buzz throughout the day. The panel session created lively and productive debate and everyone went away inspired."

Sue Weir said: "We were keen to stage an event that really would capture people's imagination and make a genuine difference to businesses in terms of productivity, leadership and management. Fit for Business did exactly that and the feedback we have had has been tremendous."

Fit for Business was sponsored by the Liverpool PCT Workplace Wellbeing Charter and supported by The Commercial District.
