A former strategic advisor to the Ministry of Defence is to be the guest speaker at a leaders’ lunch in Bournemouth.

Rear Admiral John Kingwell CBE will speak on long-term global trends in a post-Covid world.

He’ll outline how they will affect your business and what you can do to be prepared for all eventualities.

To welcome the return of face-to-face events, Evolve – the community for entrepreneurs and business leaders – is hosting the three-course lunch at the Marsham Court Hotel on October 1.

Warren Munson, Founder of Evolve, pictured left, said: “We’re so excited to be able to return to physical events again.

“To have Rear Admiral John Kingwell as the speaker makes it even better.

“He has a wealth of knowledge about strategy and leadership during a crisis; his wisdom and vast expertise will be invaluable to business owners.”

Rear Admiral Kingwell retired from the Royal Navy in January this year.

Among other roles, he served as Head of Finance and Military Capability, Director of the Developments, Concepts and Doctrine Centre for the MOD, Director of the Chief of Defence Staff’s Strategy Forum, and the UK’s Director of the UK/US Rising Leaders programme and the Annual Anglo-French Strategy Forum.

The lunch is also sponsored by Inspire, the independent and award-winning business and tax advisory firm,
