Purplebricks FD to speak at High Growth Summit

A leading figure in the growth of UK estate agency Purplebricks has been announced as the latest high-profile speaker at the High Growth Summit – which is media partnered by TheBusinessDesk.com.

Matthew Farrow, finance director at Purplebricks, will join celebrated US hotelier, Tamie Adaya, and Lisa Nichols, the American business coach and contributor to global best-selling book, The Secret, in headlining the leading business event, which will take place at the Radisson Blu Hotel, East Midlands Airport on 13th October. The event has now been expanded after the initial allocation of tickets sold out.

After joining Purplebricks in 2014, Matthew Farrow has supported the company’s start up, AIM listing and billion-pound market valuation. A chartered accountant, Matthew was previously finance director and group M&A director at Phoenix IT Group, where he helped increase turnover from £40m to £250m. Matthew has also successfully run his own international consultancy business.

The summit is organised and hosted by High Growth founder Stuart Ross and is aimed at ambitious companies that want to uncover the strategies that will help them move to the next level.

Also presenting at the summit will be marketing expert, Geoff Ramm.

Ross said: “I’m really excited to announce Mathew as a speaker at the fifth High Growth Summit.

“Purplebricks has grown rapidly to become Britain’s third largest estate agency and Matthew has been integral to that growth. He will offer valuable insight into how a start-up can break through to become an industry leader.

“This is an exciting opportunity to hear from inspirational industry experts and is ideal for anyone who is looking to achieve success with fresh thinking. It is also one of the East Midlands’ key networking events so delegates will be able to meet others in the business community, make contacts and share ideas.”
