A date has been set for AFC Business' Directors' Lunch, which will take place on Wednesday 4th July.
Sponsored by Savills and hosted at the prestigious Harbour Heights Hotel in Sandbanks, the lunch will offer senior businessmen and women the chance to meet and network in a relaxed environment.
Attendees will be joined by guest speaker Amanda Hickson, who will discuss her career and experiences in the Royal Air Force.
Amanda served as a fast jet pilot in for 17 years and was only the second woman to fly a Tornado GR4 on the front line, completing three tours of duty and 45 missions over Iraq.
She will draw on her unique experiences of flying in a Front-Line Tornado Squadron within hostile environments to train and inspire others, covering the core areas of human factors; decision making, communication, leadership, behaviour, workload, conflict, fatigue and stress management.
On the day, guests will also enjoy a welcome drink and a two-course lunch, plus the opportunity to mix with up to 80 senior-level businessmen and women.
"We are delighted to have someone of the calibre of the inspirational Mandy Hickson as our keynote speaker and grateful for the backing of Savills once again," said AFC Bournemouth partnerships manager Amy Marks.
"Mandy draws on her unique experiences of flying in a front line Tornado Squadron within hostile environments to train and inspire others.
"She also looks at decision making under extreme pressure, maintaining momentum despite losing top talent and nurturing a culture of self-confidence and aspiration."
Karl Cradick, planning director at event sponsor Savills, also shared his thoughts ahead of the event.
"The AFC Business directors’ lunch provides a great opportunity to meet local business leaders in a convivial setting," he began.
"Savills is delighted to continue its association with this event”.
