Nick Rumney, Conor Heaney, Ian Cameron, Brian Tompkins, Garry Kousoulou and Ian Chalmers were also presenting, organisers confirmed.
‘As the last couple of years have proven, iDay is particularly good for those who bring along members of their practice team; in addition to the learning, the time spent during the day is also be good for team bonding and motivation,’ organiser PTR director Nick Atkins said.
An independent business surgery was also planned during July 6-7 event at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, with accountant Marc Bennett, marketing expert Andy Clark, training consultant Lindsey Small and ‘social media guy’ Garry Kousoulou running 30 minute meetings on the second day.
‘The sessions are private meetings enabling delegates to ask their particular expert anything they wish,’ added Atkins.
