ONE of the UK’s most recognizable business personalities is to address enterprise leaders in Cardiff tomorrow (note: June 28).
Lord Digby Jones was director of the CBI from 2000–06 and Minister of Trade from 2007–08.
He is now a business ambassador at UK Trade & Investment, chairman of Triumph Motorcycles and chairs HSBC’s international business advisory board.
Other business appointments include Jaguar, JCB, British Airways and Leicester Tigers. Born in Birmingham and aged 55, he is an honorary fellow of Cardiff University.
He is due to address the IoD’s Summer South Wales Business Lunch at the St David’s Hotel, Cardiff Bay, an event sponsored by Hays Wales.
IoD Wales director Robert Lloyd Griffiths said: “We’re enormously grateful to have this one-off opportunity with Lord Jones.
“He is a man of vast experience at the highest levels and his new book Fixing Britain has been very well received.
“It covers all the topics he is so passionate about in terms of business, globalisation, politics and social inclusion.”
