Destination Growth 09

Destination Growth 09
The East of England’s biggest business event, Destination Growth, has been hailed ‘an outstanding success’ as over 800 ambitious local business leaders packed into the AirSpace hangar at Duxford on Tuesday (3rd November).

ATP provided the AT&T Williams PitStop Challenge for two teams to prove they were the best on the day; each team was made up of pre registration applicants and one very special guest Michelle Mone founder and co-owner of MJM International, the multi-million pound lingerie company.  In fact Michelle’s team posted the fastest time of the day with a very credible 8.77 seconds, not bad considering the team had just ten minutes to learn and practice the techniques. 
Scott Garrett, former commercial director at Williams F1, drew some fascinating parallels between the cut-throat industry of Formula 1 and running a small business and advised participants with top tips on building a winning team  helping them get to grips with airguns and wheel changing as they competed to post their best time in the PitStop Challenge.
