Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
NMBS, the UK’s leading buying society for independent builders’, plumbing and heating, timber and hardware merchants, has confirmed a further speaker for its 2018 All-Industry Conference.
Those making the trip to the Grand Hotel Dino in Baveno on the 14th to 17th June can now look forward to a line-up that includes David Meade.
Meade, who initially built a career as a researcher and lecturer in international business working at Ireland’s leading universities, has gone on to become one of Europe’s most dynamic, engaging and sought after keynote speakers.
He combines decades of research into cutting edge leadership and management with a passionate interest in psychology and consumer behaviour to help individuals and organisations understand how they can work more efficiently and effectively.
Meade’s innovative style has not only led to him speaking at conferences across the world for clients such as Harvard, Apple, PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers), Bombardier Aerospace and easyJet, but has also helped him to become an entertainment personality.
He has his own series on BBC One Northern Ireland where he appears as a ‘mentalist’ – making audiences believe he can achieve the impossible and impressing them with a mind-boggling power to tell people what they’re thinking. He has also staged numerous successful live tours.
In addition, Meade’s ability to make audiences think critically about the challenges they face has gained him high praise from both past clients and the press alike.
He has been described as ‘The best thing to come out of Ireland in a very long time’ by the Sunday Times whilst the Daily Mirror has described him as ‘The most incredible talent, you’ve got to see David live to believe it.’
As well as delivering a bespoke presentation at the NMBS 2018 All-Industry Conference, David will also stage breakout sessions for smaller groups of delegates who may have specific questions or require help with certain issues or challenges.
Speaking of the confirmation of David as a speaker, Sam Hunt, events manager at NMBS, said: “We’re delighted to welcome David to the speaker line-up for this year’s event. His expert knowledge of his specialist subject matter, combined with his unique talent to educate and entertain audiences simultaneously, has made him a firm favourite with numerous high-profile clients. We’re sure he’ll prove equally popular with delegates at the 2018 NMBS All-Industry Conference.”
