Jamie Peacock gives "don’t quit" message to business people

FORMER Great Britain captain Jamie Peacock inspired a capacity crowd of business people at a rugby-themed networking lunch on Friday.

The event, organised by TheBusinessDesk.com and Rugby AM, heard the Leeds Rhinos star talk through some of the toughest moments of his career and how he and his teammates responded, and turned crises into championship medals.

Yorkshire Carnegie coach, and former Scotland scrum-half, Bryan Redpath also spoke and set out what he is looking to achieve after arriving in Leeds earlier this year.

TheBusinessDesk.com editor Alex Turner said: “It was a really successful event that was exactly what we were wanting to put on.

“Jamie and Bryan were inspirational and informative while a full Bibi’s restaurant created a great atmosphere.

“There was a good cross-section of Yorkshire businesses present and we look forward to welcoming them to our next event in the autumn.”
