As a long standing member of Adams Park Business Club, Simon Turner, Managing Director of Seymour Taylor was very pleased to be given the opportunity to present at the first Business Breakfast of the season, formerly known as London Wasps Business Breakfast.

To start things off Wycombe Wanderers Manager, Gary Waddock, was interviewed about his varied experience as both a footballer and now a manager. Having recently agreed a new 3 year deal with WWFC, Gary is set to stay at Adams Park until 2014.

With his previous expertise in the football academies and mentoring young players, Gary was very excited about Jordan Ibe joining the team, having recently scored a wonder goal on his full league debut against Sheffield Wednesday.

Gary went on to praise the Business Club in holding these types of events as he felt they are beneficial to local businesses. Speaking with like-minded professionals and supporting local business is also now a big part of his contribution to the Club.

Simon Turner, who has been known to play the odd game of golf but is a huge rugby fan and until recently, played for Chinnor, continued the morning event with the analogy and many similarities between business planning and sport management.

Getting the audience involved, Simon was keen to find out who of the 45 delegates had a clear business plan that has been reviewed in the last few months. He stressed that having the right model, effective management, strong staff and excellent communication is critical in putting any plan in place.

Adams Park Commercial Executive expressed thanks to Simon “A massive thank you for presenting at the breakfast meeting, it was well received by all! We really felt that the morning went well, an improvement on last season and lots of new faces in the mix.”

Simon mentioned: “These networking events take place five to six times a year and we have found they are a great opportunity to enhance business links with local companies.”
