EEF Lecture – Honest and Revealing

Last night, 6^th November 2018, FashionCapital/FCFTA.com was invited to the ‘EEF Annual Lecture’ and networking meal. Attending on behalf of the company was CEO Jenny Holloway and she was blown away by the honesty and integrity of the guest speaker Zanny Minton Beddoes, the Chief Editor at The Economist (pictured below).

“Economist’s advise on the economy but its businesses make it happen! We are the ones that spot opportunities and drive through dynamism and innovation.

“I was absolutely enthralled with what Zanny had to say and not for a moment would I dispute her concerns for decades of disruption in our economy but she is not a business person – the entrepreneurs in the room are the ones that will guide the economy into a new dimension and actually that’s occurring now.”

Thank-you to the EEF for inviting FashionCapital/FCFTA.com to this excellent lecture and event.
