Neil Abbott and Jim Peters were privileged to be invited to attend the ActionCoach Business Excellence Forum and Awards in Harrogate. The forum was an intensive two day event where good business practices were described and personal development techniques were imparted to the delegates. The presenters were well chosen and provided an excellent balance with interesting stories about their own personal experiences with a final session presented by Brad Sugars who left no uncertainty in our minds as to what being an entrepreneur is all about. The Business Excellence Awards was an impressive event where we celebrated the successes of various companies that had benefitted from ActionCoach.
