In Conversation with Gillian Drakeford MBE

Join our latest ‘In Conversation with’ series with guest speaker, Gillian Drakeford MBE.

Presenting a morning full of insight and inspiration for domestic and international business growth and international expansion, GM Business Growth Hub presents ‘In Conversation with Gillian Drakeford MBE’.

Joining forces with BNY and hosting the event at their impressive location at BNY Piccadilly Gardens, attendees will hear about Gillian’s decades of experience helping businesses grow all over the world. Having worked in Europe and Asia as former Global Retail Experience Manager for IKEA she now supports charities and mission-led organisations in the UK.

In this ‘In Conversation With’ she’ll join Nick Shepherd to discuss how a global mindset is something that every business should be adopting.

They’ll cover how even a global retail giant like IKEA benefitted from thinking about the ‘small stuff’ and how you can adopt this for your business – no matter the size or shape. Gillian will share her journey and how her commitment to economic growth resulted in being awarded an MBE in the 2018 honours list.

If you’re looking to take your business to the next level, this insightful session will help you create a clear understanding of how you can link the culture in which you are working in, and your own value set. Work out how to connect your business to the market in which it exists without losing the uniqueness of what your business is.

Just like us at GM Business Growth Hub, Gillian is a firm believer that you can be a ‘good’ person and make money in your business.
