Talking shop at PwC

Christine Cross

In the heart of the City of London I was delighted to address a conference full of some of the best brains within Pricewaterhouse Coopers. Christine Cross, the incredibly well connected and globally ubiquitous, 'queen of retail' had invited me to open their annual Talkshop conference as the Stimulus Speaker.
In her capacity as Chief Retail and Consumer Advisor of PwC, Christine asked me to 'wake-up' the audience with some thought provoking interaction on best practice global retailing - ready for a host of top-name retail bosses who'd been invited to talk during the day.

Christine was kind enough to comment: "Martin Butler's keynote stimulus session was just that...and not at all what the audience had anticipated! A refreshing and informed view of the issues facing the 'high street' and the ways in which good leaders are addressing these. Martin was provocative by challenging the audience to adopt some of the best traits in their own work and to never dismiss the opportunity to seize the moment to effect positive change. A great speaker who left a lasting, positive impression on the audience."


Thanks Christine, it was a wonderful brief, a skillfully crafted agenda for the day involving many different skill-sets, all beautifully executed - thank you for inviting me, it was a pleasure.
