A TOP line-up of business high-flyers has been assembled for a new series of inspirational masterclasses at Lancaster University Management School.

Starting this month, the masterclasses, which are supported by NatWest, will see the heads of some of the UK’s top businesses give unique insights into the stories behind the success of their companies.

Masterclass speakers include: Loyd Grossman CBE, Jonathan Warburton (Warburtons), Edwin Booth (Booths), Mark Addlestone (Beaverbooks), John Timpson CBE (Timpson Ltd), Andrew Graham (Graham and Brown), Michael Finnegan (i2i), Mike Armstead (Wax Lyrical), Sarah Dunning (Westmorland) and Michael Ryan (Fusion Futures).

The series, which is open to all business owners and managers across the North West, will kick off on Wednesday with Peter Cowgill, chief executive of JD Sports.

The masterclasses are free to attend but places must be reserved by contacting Eve Tinker on 01524 510703.
