We were very pleased and excited to be asked to cover a major seminar weekend for C.I.M.A (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) which included the two guest speakers of Gerald Ratner of Jewelry fame, & Football legend, Jimmy Greaves.

Many years after his famous remarks that lost him his company and his livelihood, Gerald now runs one of the most successful online jewellery stores in the UK and is back on top!  The story of his journey was an inspiration to many who attended this honest & humorous account.

Gerald Ratner tell's it all!

After all of the serious business of the day, it was time to relax and have a little fun. For this the famous footballing legend of Jimmy Greaves was to provide the entertainment. His football tales from days gone by when England footballers played for pride and not money, had the entire ballroom in fits of laughter. He also signed a number of shirts which helped raise money for the charity auction.
