Speaker
Sponsored by Leeds Beckett University’s Leeds Business School, the awards lunch, to be held on Wednesday 28 November, will feature keynote speaker rugby league player Jamie Peacock. As a former captain of both Great Britain and England, Peacock will talk about how strong leadership and teamwork can lead to great success.
Peacock is widely acknowledged as one of the best players of the Super League era. As a player, he led from the front and led his teams to glory while earning the respect from his team mates and his opponents in both hemispheres through his determination and commitment.
