Your chance to lunch with Dragons Den's James Caan

 print  e-mail 

Independent business finance specialist Bibby Financial Services has linked up with James Caan, the latest star of the BBC's Dragons' Den, to offer business owners the chance to win lunch at a top London restaurant with the serial entrepreneur.

Bibby - who have delivered finance solutions to small businesses for more than 25 years - has launched a new promotion to offer ten lucky clients the chance to chew the fat with one of the UK's leading entrepreneurs.

Every business that signs up for one of Bibby's extensive range of business finance solutions - which include invoice finance, export finance, trade services, asset and lease finance - before March 31 2008 will be eligible to enter into the prize draw.

Winners will get the chance to dine with James Caan where they'll be able to gain first-hand advice on getting ahead in business from Caan, as well as the opportunity to share experiences and challenges with nine other entrepreneurs.

James Caan has been creating, building and selling businesses for over 20 years and, like Bibby, is well placed to offer advice on how to make it in business. In 1985, he set up the Alexander Mann Group, one of the UK's leading HR outsourcing companies, and achieved a turnover of £130million before selling it to a private equity firm in 2002.

The latest recruit to the Dragons' Den panel, Caan is a graduate of Harvard Business School's prestigious Advanced Management Programme and was named PricewaterhouseCoopers' Entrepreneur of the Year in 2003.

Commenting on the launch of the promotion, Bibby Financial Services‚ chief executive David Robertson said, 'We're delighted to be able to offer our new clients not only the best financial solution for their business needs, but also the chance to win a once in a lifetime opportunity - to pick the brains of a self-made multi-millionaire, without having to step sheepishly into the Dragons' Den'.
