Aylsham High School’s ‘Young Chamber’ team would like to invite you to our annual Business Breakfast on the Friday 2nd December 2016 from 7.30am till 9am.
We are delighted to inform you that this year’s guest speaker will be Nigel Meyer, Chief Operating Officer of Brit Insurance, who will be talking about ‘The economy post Brexit – myths and facts’. This is a networking opportunity for businesses to come and meet with possible clients and then discuss with each other their business plans, ideas and possible partnerships for the future.
A £5 entry fee payable on arrival includes a small breakfast and a chance to support and observe the way we operate as a school.
So, what are the five things that can have such a significant impact on whether a business thrives, rather than just survives?
They are:
Brand
Pricing
Customers
Productivity
Campaign Marketing
