BUSINESS growth is the topic for discussion when serial entrepreneur talks about his achievements at Huddersfield’s 3M Buckley Innovation Centre tomorrow.
Mr Leslie will chart his journey from the creation of Galpharm International Ltd, the largest privately-owned over-the-counter pharmaceutical company in Europe in 1982, its sale in 2008 to US giant Perrigo and how he has since created six companies including start-ups and corporate turnarounds.
Patrick Allen, managing director of 3M BIC and former executive director of marketing for the Co-operative Group, will describe the vision for the centre and what it has to offer for small and medium-sized businesses by providing access to finance, markets and technology.
And Nick Wilson, of Riskscorer Ltd, will explain the principles behind how company growth and failure can be predicted.
He will give examples of what works and what doesn’t work and how to analyse a firm’s potential for growth.
The event takes place from 6pm to 8pm.
