Destination Growth 07 - Ratner to deliver keynote speech

 print  e-mail 

Gerald Ratner, forever associated with some unfortunate comments he made about his own jewellery business, is set to speak at "Destination Growth", a key East of England business event.

Ratner has overcome his high profile setback to set up and create a highly successful online business, Geraldonline.

"It was a horrendous thing to happen. Ratner’s was high performing and morale was very high, but after the press got hold of my quotes we were a laughing stock,” says Gerald reflecting on the major setback.

Destination Growth will feature key note speeches, masterclasses, debates and workshops with 22 top international speakers including Gü Puddings founder, James Averdieck.

Business leaders will also have the opportunity to rub shoulders with 20 other top international business experts during the conference. These include world renowned creative thinker, Dr Edward de Bono; Jerry Greenfield, co-founder of Ben and Jerry’s Homemade Ice Cream; and award-winning motivational speaker Nigel Risner.

Event Details

Destination Growth takes place on Tuesday 6th November and is aimed at SME businesses in the east of the country. It will take place at Duxford Airspace in Cambridgeshire.
