Exeter Chamber of Commerce November Networking Lunch

Despite the dreadful weather conditions, Wednesday's Chamber Networking lunch attracted a huge turnout - with over 145 attendees signed up to attend the event.

Guest speaker, Peter Thornton, gave an incredibly honest account of the organisational, emotional, structural and relational reasons that drove the decline of Thorntons, a once highly profitable family business to a position of serious weakness. 

The objective of this talk was to help businesses learn from what happened and to suggest what action they can they take to prevent a similar chain of events.

Peter also announced the launch of his book, 'Thorntons - My Life in the Family Business'.
