Bristol Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner 2010
The Bristol Chamber of Commerce Annual
Dinner 2010, which celebrates business across the region, will be
held on Thursday 25th March at the Bristol Marriott City
Centre Hotel.
With Guest Speaker Rt Hon David Davis
MP
We welcome the Rt Hon
David Davis MP as guest speaker at the Bristol Chamber of Commerce
Annual Dinner 2010. This prestigious event, which celebrates
business across the region and attracts over 400 guests, takes
place at the Bristol Marriott City Centre Hotel on 25th
March.
David Davis served as
Conservative Party Chairman and shadow Deputy Prime Minister, but
to many he is best known for resigning his seat and stepping down
as shadow Home Secretary on a point of principle in 2008. He won
the resulting by-election with a resounding 72% of the vote, and
has since continued to campaign for civil liberties.
Before entering the Commons,
David worked as a troubleshooter and strategist for Tate &
Lyle, becoming a main board director. Apart from driving the
recovery of loss-making subsidiaries he was central in major
reconfigurations of the overall company. He also contributed pieces
to the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times on subjects from
industrial relations to management techniques - and wrote a book
based on his experience. How to Turn Round a Company is as relevant
today as it was when first published in 1989.
Soon after being elected to
Parliament David was invited to join the Government. His first
appointment was in the Cabinet Office, where he was given
responsibility for policy delivery and public service performance,
and some aspects of intelligence oversight. He then moved to the
Foreign Office as Europe and Security Command Minister - overseeing
most European and international negotiations including NATO
enlargement, the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty and the updated
Geneva Convention. As befits a politician with a degree in
molecular science, David also served as Science Minister.
When New Labour were elected
David became Chairman of the all-powerful Public Accounts Committee
- and stood for the leadership of the Conservative party.
