Finnigan added to line-up at inspirational Summer Summit

A second big-name speaker has been added to the line-up for the Lancashire Leaders Summer Summit at Blackburn Cathedral on July 3.

Michael, CEO at i2i has been helping businesses, sports stars and young people maximise their potential and meet their objectives for more than 20 years.

In sport, Michael worked with Darren Clarke as he claimed the Open Golf title; with Everton as they qualified for the UEFA Champions League; with the victorious England Ashes team of 2005; and with India as they claimed the cricket World Cup crown in 2011.

“He captures and distils the essence of business and performance challenges and translates that into workable solutions for organisations of all kinds.

Dave made his fortune developing the UK’s biggest minibus dealership and came to public prominence by launching Bank of Dave, a local bank which is still taking on the establishment in true Lancashire style!

More sponsors have also lined up to support the event with Superfast Lancashire and Hive joining Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council and East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce.

Richard Slater added: “The Summer Summit is designed to offer inspiration and learning; and great company, food and entertainment.

The event, featuring a fabulous dinner prepared on-site using local produce, will take place on Thursday July 3 at Blackburn Cathedral which hosted its first major corporate event, the Lancashire Tourism Awards, last November.
