Moreton Hall Business Lunch Digby Lord JonesFollowing on from the Editor of the Economist – last year’s speaker at Moreton Hall’s annual Business Lunch – was never going to be easy, but Digby Lord Jones pulled it off with impressive style.

 

The Shropshire based school has the tradition of a strong business focus, with its unique Moreton Enterprises now celebrating a history of over thirty years of trading.  From students running the local railway station in the 1980s to today’s Sixth Form directors, mangers and ‘staff’ running a £50,000 company, Moreton girls have a fair grasp of what it takes to succeed in the business world.

 

Over three hundred people attended the annual business lunch this year, which was once again generously sponsored by Investec.  The event opened with a brief business review by three incredibly confident and knowledgeable members of Moreton Enterprises, who explained how they learn to run the company, take risks and work as a team.

 

Lord Jones has an impressive background: Chairman of Triumph Motorcycles, Non-executive Deputy Chairman of UEP, Chairman of Grove Industries, Corporate Ambassador to JCB, and Non-executive Director of Leicester Tigers plc are just some of the many roles on his resume.  His amusing, engaging and forthright speech considered what makes Britain – and particularly British business – great and the challenges we will have to face head-on if we are to stay that way.
