New Business Breakfast to kickstart summer

Supporting Local Business: Dawn Lay-Flurrie, Larking Gowen

We are delighted to announce the launch of Larking Gowen’s hugely popular Business Breakfast events in Essex.

These events are designed to provide local entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals with a platform to network and share insights for success in the year ahead. Attendees enjoy breakfast while engaging in vibrant discussions and connecting with other business professionals.

Larking Gowen’s Business Breakfasts are brand new for Colchester and Essex, but they have already been well received in the business community across Suffolk and Norfolk.

For the inaugural event, we welcomed former RAF pilot and Squadron Leader Sarah Furness as our guest speaker. Sarah shared real-world insights on building resilience and developing the courage and skills needed to perform under pressure. As a best-selling author and coach in mindfulness and cognitive therapy, Sarah provided tips and tricks to help attendees be the best version of themselves.

As Sarah says: “Fear is contagious, but so is courage.”

Getting to know you

These breakfast events, proving so popular for the teams in our Ipswich and Norwich offices, will introduce the community to not just what Larking Gowen is about, but also the value our speakers can offer on resilience and mindset – something so important for business leaders right now.

As a new partner in the Business team at the firm’s Colchester office, with over 30 years of experience in accountancy and advisory firms in Essex, I too am looking forward to building new relationships in the area, and offering valuable expertise in business planning, financing, restructuring, exit strategies and tax optimisation. My experience in dealing with complex and sensitive issues such as insolvency and restructuring is an especially helpful resource for businesses going through tough times.

Coming up

The guest speaker at our October event is Ben Coomber (pictured), an extremely popular speaker at previous events who will present on how leaders can be the best possible version of themselves in order to maintain peak performance at work. Ben is a high-performance health coach, multi-award-winning nutritionist, podcaster, bestselling author of ‘How to Live an Awesome Life’ and the CEO of Awesome Supplements – so he knows what it takes to be an ‘awesome human’.

Tickets for the event are available to BOOK NOW through Eventbrite or just visit www.larking-gowen.co.uk/events. Advance registration is required.

Don’t miss out on this new, fresh and innovative way to connect with others in the Essex business community and learn something powerful to take back to your desk with you.
