BVAA Business Development Event

This week we had an excellent Business Development Event hosted by the BVAA BD Chairman Matt King (SAFi Valves) and BVAA BD Vice Chairman (Corrosion Resistant Materials) Adam Bradley. 

This included an inspirational talk by Guest Speaker Paul Kinkaid on Leadership. Paul is a former Army Commando and Lieutenant Colonel, Paul has a led elite teams in some of the most challenging environments imaginable.

He left his 20-year career with the forces, as the British Army’s Head of Training Development, to share his expertise and experiences with business and leadership. His talk was exceptionally motivating and moving.
