BSDA Industry Lunch 2013


Industry Lunch 2013 – Guest Speaker Announced & Opportunities for Associate Member Sponsorship

This year’s Industry Lunch will be held on Tuesday, 24 September at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London (http://www.mandarinoriental.com/london/).  Tickets are priced at £150 + VAT per person with a 5% discount being offered on bookings of tables of 10 (ie £1425 + VAT). 

We are pleased to welcome Lord Digby Jones as our guest speaker.  Digby Jones served as Director-General of the Confederation of British Industry, the UK's Voice of Business, between 2000 and 2006 where he regularly and repeatedly visited businesses in the UK and around the world taking their views back to those who make the rules. He took the British business message to over 60 different countries during his appointment. In July 2007 he was appointed Minister of State for UK Trade & Investment and became a life peer taking the title Digby, Lord Jones of Birmingham and, as ever, loyal to British business he spent the next 15 months “doing it in a different way”.  He did not join the party of government and without the ambition to progress in politics he continued on concentrating on the business of promoting Britain across the world.

He is a corporate lawyer by background and currently holds a number of senior corporate advisory positions. An experienced speaker he can speak on a wide range of business issues from international trade opportunities to the training & skills required to cope with globalisation, drawing on his lifetime of unique achievement having worked closely with governments all around the world promoting British business. He is also a witty and entertaining speaker with a wealth of anecdotes to draw upon involving many of the famous people he has done business with over the years

We are offering a limited number of BSDA Associate Members the opportunity of sponsoring this Lunch.  Sponsorship will be used to brand the event and promote sponsors to member and non-member soft drinks companies alike.  The main incentive of our partnering sponsors is direct awareness and exposure to a target group of distinguished clientele.

A booking form can be found here.  For further information on the event, including sponsorship opportunities, please contact Julia Broad
