Former BBC Dragon joins debate panel of Business Celebrities at Charity Event after Lincolnshire based Mercury Expo
Gainsborough, Lincolnshire (PRWEB UK) 13 October 2013 -- Rachel Elnaugh, BBCTV ex-'Dragon' has joined the speaker panel of business celebrities taking part in Expo Exchange, a charity debate at a special event for local businesses on 20 November after Mercury Expo, the Lincolnshire event celebrating Global Entrepreneurship Week at Mercury House, Gainsborough's premier business centre.
Expo Exchange is a business networking evening for local & regional businesses, featuring a topical debate between the guest panel of speakers who are taking part in Mercury Expo. Successful entrepreneurs Kate Hardcastle, Brad Burton, Naomi Timperley and Debbie Huxton will join Rachel Elnaugh on the debate panel to be chaired by Glenn Le Santo. The panel will debate topical news and issues affecting today's entrepreneurs.
Rachel Elnaugh is the award winning entrepreneur whose first business was the market leading ‘experiences’ brand Red Letter Days, created at the age of 24 – which she grew from nothing, on a shoestring budget, into a £multi-million turnover household name which at its height was making £1million profit a year.
Proceeds from Expo Exchange are in aid of Positive Image, Kate Hardcastle's campaign to inspire confidence.
'Imagine you never worried about how you looked. Imagine you never felt a crippling lack of self-confidence. Say you never second guessed yourself. Say you believed the person standing in front of you in the mirror was the very best that you could be. Positive Image is about bringing together a collection of voices to ask why this dream isn’t a reality.' -Kate Hardcastle
The event has been organised by MMC Agency, on behalf of the county council-run Select Lincolnshire for Business, in partnership with Lincolnshire Media Group. Tickets for Expo Exchange are £15 and include evening meal. Seating is limited and tickets must be purchased in advance by booking online at http://www.mercuryexpo.co.uk or by contacting Lizzie Jordan on 01427 619536.
