Corporate Partner Reception, Friday, 5th November 2010
100 companies attended a luncheon reception at the Wynyard Rooms, Wynyard Park on Friday, 5th November 2010 at 11am till 2pm.
Butterwick Hospice acknowledged those companies who have chosen to become a Corporate Partner of Butterwick Hospice in 2011.
Richard Cotter, Brand President of Berghaus Ltd will be our dynamic Guest Speaker. Richard Cotter is a man on a mission. With the outdoor clothing market expanding rapidly, he is determined that Berghaus is going to claim at least its fair share of that growth.
He uses the sportsman-like phrase "ruthless focus" to describe his approach to the business, which gives you the distinct impression that his time as a professional golfer has been brought to bear on his managerial career.
"I'm a great believer that I don't worry too much about the competition. Every minute you do that, you are not spending positively developing your own brand. We execute our plan with ruthless focus - you are almost not that interested in what other people are doing.
"I don't think business is that complicated. If everyone has bought into what the organisation is trying to achieve, it's not that complicated to execute it. And I always believe wherever we are this year is a just a stepping stone to where we want to be next year and the year after that."
