Former goalkeeper to star at multi-academy trust’s first business lunch

Prime networking opportunities are on offer for companies, groups and individuals at the inaugural Business Lunch being hosted by the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership (ATLP).

The lunch is the latest event within the ATLP Partner Programme, which unites students, parents, businesses, organisations and alumni with the aim of enhancing education, empowering learners and providing profitable networking facilities.

Guest speaker at the event - to be staged at Moor Hall Hotel in Sutton Coldfield on Friday 14 November (12-4pm) - will be former Wolves and England under 21 goalkeeper Matt Murray.

Matt (pictured), a familiar face on our TV screens as a pundit and reporter for Sky Sports, is also a football agent and regular guest speaker and he is relishing sharing insights about both the game and his business interests.

ATLP fundraising manager Brian Davies said: “Matt will share candid stories from his career - offering humour, inspiration and insights into how he overcame setbacks - including retiring from professional football at just 29 and the ways he has reinvented himself since.

“This promises to be an engaging and inspiring event for all attendees, with lots of tips and suggestions for you to take away and implement into their own personal and business lives.

“All funds raised at the lunch will go towards enhancing the quality and range of provision across ATLP schools. The Partner Programme has previously provided fantastic learning and life experiences for our young people including the annual ATLP Student Awards, Children’s University initiative and year 6 trip to France.”

Tables of ten at the lunch cost £650 plus VAT. Tickets can also be brought per person at £75 plus VAT. For more details and to book, email [email protected].
