THE KEY SPEAKERS & ENTERTAINERS
Linford Christie is undoubtedly Europe’s greatest ever 100m
sprinter. He was the first European to run sub ten seconds and
in 1993, he became the first man in history to hold the Olympic,
World, European and Commonwealth titles in the 100m. His
fastest time 9.87 seconds, recorded when he won the 1993
World Championship in Stuttgart, was the European record for
nearly 30 years. Linford remains one of the most decorated
British athletes of all time, winning an amazing 24 medals
before the end of his 17-year career.
Amongst the numerous awards bestowed upon Christie was
the prestigious 1993 ‘BBC Sports Personality of the Year’ and
‘European Athlete of the Year’. He has worked as a technical
commentator in Athletics and has presented many sports
specific programmes over the years. Linford’s success in Athletics has continued since his retirement in
a coaching role, having coached a number of top athletes to success in Commonwealth, European and
leading international meets as well as the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games.
Adrian Webster is a best-selling business author whose
books include the Polar Bear Pirates, Sort Your Brain Out and
Tiny Noticeable Things. Webster gained a reputation as a top
motivator and team builder turning groups of everyday people
into some of the most productive in the IT industry. Fuelled
by a desire to gain a better understanding of what makes
exceptional people tick, Adrian started to research some of the
UK’s most successful people.
From Police Officer to milkman and salesman to best-selling
business author, Adrian’s research mixed with his real-life
experiences, raw energy and a sense of humour, make Adrian
an entirely original, entertaining and very popular motivational
speaker.
Laura Chalkley joined WorkNest in 2008, serving as an Employment Law Adviser.
Now, she stands as the Head of the Partnerships Team, overseeing the company’s
relationships with 15 major partner clients, and proudly manages a team of six
Employment Law Advisers. As a truly seasoned and multifaceted professional,
Laura’s specialisms span far and wide, with a particular affinity for the pharmacy,
retail, charity, healthcare, and hair and beauty sectors.
Alfie Moore is a comedian and broadcaster and until recently, was a police
sergeant with Humberside Police. He entertains with insights and comical moments
from nearly two decades ‘on the beat’, where dealing with everyday incidents has
generated stories you just couldn’t make up! He has written and presented two
series of his BBC Radio 4 comedy series ‘It’s a Fair Cop’ which engages the audience
into making decisions about real dilemmas faced by police officers – with hilarious
results. The show has received both public and critical acclaim.
In addition to the above, we also have lots more interesting and informative topics with marketplace
specialists, industry experts, motivating speakers plus a Panel Discussion featuring business leaders from
laundry and hospitality sectors.
