Former world record holder and Olympic medallist, Colin Jackson, will be the key-note speaker at Chorley Council’s annual Choose Chorley business event, to be sponsored by Xcina, a leading digital resilience company.
Taking place on Thursday 19 April, in the Lancastrian Suite at Chorley Town Hall, this annual event is Chorley’s biggest business networking evening and offers an opportunity for businesses of all sizes to network, get to know each other and also to meet Council representatives.
Colin Jackson will give an insight into his time at the top of his sport and how his desire to succeed can be applied in the business world. In particular, he will give an insight into goal setting and overcoming obstacles.
Councillor Alistair Bradley, Leader of Chorley Council, said: “It’s really important for us to have a business community that supports each other and our Choose Chorley events are a chance for people to learn about what’s happening in the Borough and network with each other. Ultimately, we want to showcase that Chorley is a great place to do business.”
The Choose Chorley event, compered by North West Tonight’s Chief Reporter, Dave Guest, will feature a Question Time style panel session, with leading local business figures, discussing the latest topics affecting the business community. This year’s theme is ‘The Future for Business in a Changing World’.
Following the panel, Colin Jackson will outline how he set and achieved his goals in the sporting world, overcame setbacks and motivated himself to be one of the best hurdlers in the world, winning almost everything the sport had to offer.
