We are delighted to welcome John Acton from Peer2Peer Global to join us. John Acton left school at 16 with no clear path into business. What he did have was a refusal to stay still. He put himself through night school, earned a postgraduate diploma in Marketing, and went on to become Executive Vice President of the global DPD Group, where the business grew from £4bn to £9bn. He will tell you, unprompted, that he did not do that alone. After leaving DPD he spent years working with hundreds of businesses, from start-ups to large corporations, on strategic and critical thinking. In 2017 he co-founded Peer2Peer Global, now the UK's fastest growing peer advisory board network. In 2025, fellow business owners and entrepreneurs voted him National Business Leader of the Year at the SME Business Awards. His Amazon bestselling book, Pies or Pie Charts, does something most business books never dare attempt. It shows you exactly how to ask better questions, think more clearly, and build a smarter strategy. You could DIY it. Most readers call John instead. He will be talking on: "Discover your organisation's Driving Force and turn it into your super power” Every organisation has a Driving Force: the one component at the heart of how it competes and grows, its business DNA. It shapes every choice about products, customers, markets and geography more than any other factor. Of the ten strategic components, one always dominates: leadership favours it again and again when picking opportunities and allocating resources. That's your Driving Force. Learn how to identify yours and leverage it to grow an amazing business. The cost is £12.50+VAT, including lunch. The first 10 businesses to book will also be allocated a 60-second slot to speak to the group. Places are very limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
