Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards is one of Britain’s most beloved sporting underdogs, whose name has become synonymous with courage, perseverance, and the joy of simply taking part.
Rising to fame as the first ski jumper to represent Great Britain at the Winter Olympics, Eddie’s journey from a plasterer in Cheltenham to the icy slopes of Calgary in 1988 is a tale of grit, humour, and an unshakable belief in following one’s dreams – no matter how improbable.
His brave performance has been watched by millions.
Eddie still works inspiring those too young to remember his dogged determination to succeed, and will present on resilience and motivation – and how we can take his learned lessons back to our desks.

When people feel engaged and motivated, everything changes. In fact, engaged employees can be up to 25% more productive, are 87% less likely to leave, and can contribute up to 21% more to the bottom line.
Imagine what could shift in your team if people truly understood themselves and each other. By uncovering individual motivators and understanding current levels of motivation, you can start to spot hidden performance gaps and, more importantly, know what to do about them.
Everyone who attends the session will get access to a free motivational map.
This session will give you the insight and confidence to turn that understanding into meaningful, lasting change. This isn’t one you’ll want to miss!
Free to attend. Reserve your spot and join the conversation.
Join us for your chance to see around the Delta Fire award-winning factory, just East of Norwich, for a morning of introductions and networking opportunities.
But the event begins with an ‘inside-track’ tour of their state-of-the-art facility , showing the Solar PV array that covers the roof, battery storage and how that renewable energy can cover 100% of the production line you will see, utilising robot manufacturing to make world-leading firefighting hoses and equipment.
Depending on circumstances, there may even be a chance to operate one of the demonstration fire-fighting setups they have on display.
Taking every avenue to reaffirm their leadership in environmental stewardship, Delta Fire are a true exemplar in what can be achieved even in a sector not traditionally considered easy to decarbonise.
This is YOUR chance to see how advanced this facility is. Numbers are limited so early booking is advised: https://www.ticketsource.com/carbon-charter/delta-fire-factory-tour-networking/2026-05-14/10:00/t-gllegex

The Smooth Handover
A successful exit is only half the journey; the other half is ensuring the business thrives under new ownership and your legacy is protected. This final session focuses on the “Smooth Handover”, moving from the intensity of leadership to a structured, knowledge-led transition that preserves culture and continuity without your constant presence.
Why this session?
We explore the emotional and practical reality of handing over the keys. We discuss how to structure the knowledge-transfer period and support new owners effectively, while simultaneously shifting your focus toward wealth stewardship. You will learn how to structure newfound liquidity and implement robust lifetime planning to ensure your family’s future is secure long after you have stepped away.
Introducing our speakers
Richard Ross – With over 30 years’ advisory experience, helping business owners navigate succession, exit planning, and long‑term value creation.
James Bacon – A Chartered Financial Planner, helping clients align their money with their values to build and protect long‑term wealth.
In partnership with Ashtons Legal
Nick Palmer– A Partner in the corporate and commercial team, advising owners on de-risking operations, assignable contracts, and legal readiness.
Richard Guy – A Partner in the lifetime planning team, protecting wealth post-exit through robust trusts, inheritance tax mitigation, and inter-generational structures.
What this is…
A supportive peer environment. We believe the real value lies in small, closed-group discussions. To maintain a safe space for leaders at a similar stage, we limit each cohort to a maximum of 15 participants. You will test ideas and gain perspective alongside peers who understand the unique weight of ownership.

The 6-Month Focus
While a premium exit is built over years, it can be lost in days during due diligence. This second session moves from high-level strategy to operational reality. We focus on “Stress-Testing the Engine”, identifying the friction points and legal vulnerabilities that lead to price-chipping or deal failure at the eleventh hour.
Why this session?
The goal of this session is to view your business through the critical lens of a buyer’s legal and financial team. We explore how to evidence your “Innovation Culture” and ensure that your most valuable assets, your contracts, your intellectual property, and your people, are contractually secured and ready for transfer.
We move beyond the balance sheet to address the “Skeletons in the Closet,” from statutory compliance to data security, ensuring your business is not just successful, but “deal-clean.”

Is this for you?
This session is for founders who want to ensure the value they have built isn’t eroded by avoidable legal or operational “skeletons.” If you are ready to identify potential concerns before a buyer does, register your interest to find out more and reserve your place.

The 3-Year Runway.
A premium exit isn’t a transaction that happens on a single day; it is a transformation that takes place over years. The Strategic Exit Programme is a three-part workshop series designed specifically for established SME founders, owners, and directors who are ready to transition from a founder-led business to a management-led company.
Why this session?
The first step to a confident exit is ensuring the business can thrive without you. This opening session is a practical exploration of leadership resilience. We focus on strengthening your management team, identifying “single points of failure,” and reducing the business’s reliance on the founder.
The goal is simple: to build a more robust, attractive, and valuable asset that operates and grows without your constant involvement.
