Why Graham Wilson is our awesome speaker!
Graham’s early career in sales, in retail and Pharmaceuticals, saw him become the industry’s youngest sales manager at 27, leading his J&J Company to top growth in UK Pharma for 2 years. He then made a surprising shift to Innovex, a tiny start up offering contract sales teams, which became the world’s largest outsourcing business in Pharma, across 11 counties with 3500 staff and was sold for £500 mill, becoming Quintiles.
Since then he Chaired a number of start ups and took a Logistics business from £5-50 mill and exit.
Throughout this time Graham was fascinated by behaviour, leadership and performance, his selling programme was used in Pharma for around 20 years, he runs a behaviour programme which is enhanced by his qualification as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and he works as a business coach after training with Shirlaws group, one of the global Coaching leaders. “Creating wealth is so satisfying and not always about money and meeting new people keeps me inspired and energised”
Today Graham has a Domiciliary Care business, he coaches and trains and is currently focused on the launch of WoMTWo, Word of Mouth that works.

What is the structure of our events?
The event starts at 10am and its fine to arrive early or late. 
And if you want a 1 2 1, its fine to arrive early, we won't disturb you.
Refreshments arrive at 10am, ensure you add your business literature to the promo table.
Feel free to put your handbag, coat etc on a place and help yourself to a cuppa.
At 10.30 we sit down and hear the Business Ops (which are local, national and international opportunities including media opportunities as they come up.) Then we have our 45 minute master class.
Then it's over to you. The first 25 business women are guaranteed a 60 seconds to speak about their business and we ensure we stop the structured content by midday so that there is time to network freely again until 12.30.
If you need to dash that is fine. But Wivenhoe House is beautiful and perfect for a light lunch, a good coffee and a meeting.
When you leave ensure you take any leftover business literature with you.
And keep in touch on our social media so that businesses get to know you between events.
