ABOUT US
CATHERINE DEPTFORD - FINANCE AND TICKETS
Catherine is our financial guru, or rather she should be as she spent 15 years in the City managing other people's money! She was a successful Fund Manager running institutional UK equity portfolios of some size and has the numbers to prove it, or so she says … but they all say that don’t they? Having spent so long poking about in other people's businesses, Catherine rates herself as a bit of a business strategist. Any issues relating to invoices, money or business development we do hope she can help you.
MARK SOLON - SPONSORSHIP
Mark Solon is a lawyer. Having worked as a successful solicitor, advocate and defence lawyer often taking on high profile cases Mark took a radical decision. Watching a medic floundering in the witness box he undertook to do something to help the presentation of evidence provided by people unfamiliar with the law. As a result he co- founded Bond Solon which is now the UK’s leading training company offering legal training to non lawyers. The courses, seminars and conferences that he has organised have revolutionised the quality of the expert witnesses and other professionals. He therefore brings with him considerable know how in the organisation of events and recruitment of the best speakers in order to help the functions we organise run smoothly.
MARIA STUFF - SPEAKERS AND MARKETING
