Event Details
“Hard Love @ The Foundling Museum or How to Love Your Business Through Good Times and Bad”
A Breakfast briefing from KXBF & Weboptimiser
Thursday 11th February, 8am to 10am
The Foundling Museum, Brunswick Square, WC1
(nearest tube King’s Cross and Russell Square)
IN the lead-up to the celebration of love, Valentine’s Day, we look at the inspirational story of businessman, David White of Weboptimiser who went from full speed growth in the high tech arena to the edge of bankruptcy in 24 hours and how - by making some very hard decisions about his life and his business - he managed to create a life raft not just for his business, but for many other small businesses in the UK and Europe
They say necessity is the mother of invention. In David’s case his tough decisions led to creative solutions that have been a lifeline to many others since.
David gives a 5-point change plan to take you from inertia in your business, through the process of hard decision making, to restructure and the light at the end of the tunnel
Inspired by ‘Lovemarks’ by Kevin Roberts, CEO of
Saatchi & Saatchi, with a delicious breakfast and chocolates by Thornton’s Chocolates, and the chance to have a private tour of the museum, currently showing three international artists - Mat Collishaw, Tracey Emin and Paula Rego - whose work focus on childhood themes of motherhood, pain, childbirth and loss, the breakfast
briefing will be an insightful, entertaining and calorific event for anyone who
wants to love their business through good times and bad!
Hard Love - £10 per person - all proceeds will be donated to the Foundling Museum

Hosted By
King's Cross Business Forum
KING'S CROSS is one of the most dynamic centres of one of the greatest capital cities in the world.
IT is not just an area, but a meeting point, a cross-roads and an idea. King's Cross - St Pancras is the best connected transport hub of any European city - and so much more! The station alone is the busiest in the UK. Tubes and buses connect North, South, East and West with the whole of London - including all of the London Airports. Overground services not only connect to the whole of the country but to Paris, Brussels, and beyond. The huge regeneration project in King’s Cross is creating a whole new city in London and the commercial centre of the capital is now King’s Cross St Pancras
THERE are 3000+ businesses in the immediate geographic area but thousands more who come to King’s Cross or who would like to do business here with three mainline stations, the biggest regeneration project in Europe, world-class academic establishments, hotels, restaurants, and cultural and tourist attractions just minutes away, and one of the most vibrant night-life scenes in the capital
THE King's Cross Business Forum aims to harness that energy and create new initiatives for the people who work or trade in the area, to improve the working environment and job opportunities, and speak up for an area that for generations was down-trodden but over the next decade is likely to become the epicentre of the new London
THE Forum’s vision is to become the recognised voice of the business community in this quarter, the conduit for the latest information about the regeneration programme, to become a major influence on the environment for commerce and collaboration to the advantage of all communities, residential, not for profit, academic and commercial
ESTABLISHED in 2003 the forum was funded by the London Development Agency and administered by Camden Council. On 31st March 2009, funding ceased and a new independent and self-funding organisation was formed, led by a voluntary team of local business owners.
IF you would like to get involved with the managment of the forum, please email volunteer@kxbf.org
