The OFA Business Club was formed in response to a growing interest amongst the WBGS Old Fullerian community to connect with former classmates and those from other years at WBGS. The objectives are to provide stimulating and thought-provoking speakers, develop connections in a business context, exchange ideas and build a network of contacts. As a successful Old Fullerian, we very much hope you can join us.
This latest event follows our very well received previous four dinners which featured stimulating, interactive, and thought provoking after-dinner speeches from the below guest speakers:
Edward Stringer – OF and recently retired Air Marshall
Nicola Burnside – CEO of Alpine Cars, part of the Renault Group
Matt Bird – Founder and CEO of disruptive publishing company, PublishU
Rob Lynch - Director of Cricket & Operations at MCC
Huw Davies - Deputy Managing Director at the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
John Shepherd – Serial Entrepreneur in the Digital Privacy & Security Sector
