Gillian Marshall, chief executive of the Entrepreneurs’ Forum, said: “We have a fantastic array of activities coming up in the final months of 2015 as our calendar of events continues to go from strength to strength. We are able to keep organising top-class opportunities for our members and their guests to meet and hear from some of the leading entrepreneurs from the North East and across the world, because of how well supported our previous events have been.
“Fortune Favours The Brave, particularly, will be one of the highlights of the 2015 North East business calendar. Last year, we had entrepreneurs including designer and architect George Clarke, leadership speaker Paul McGee and David Cooper, founder of Cooper’s Coffee. This year, we are preparing an even more mouth-watering line-up.”
