WLB Leaders' Forum Dinner with Bank of England **Invitation Only**

Ormer Mayfair at the Flemings Mayfair Hotel

Wednesday 11 November, 6-9PM

The Leaders' Forum provides advice and counsel to the main West London Business (WLB) board.  

Membership is typically senior leaders of £10m+ turnover organisations and fast growth smaller businesses. The Forum’s Spring session and Winter dinner provide the opportunity for leaders to meet with their peers, compare notes on the current business climate, develop new relationships and review with the senior leadership of WLB current strategic priorities for the sub-region to inform the work of WLB and our partners.

This year we will be being joined by Daniel Amure, the interim Bank's Agent for Greater London who is standing in for Rob Elder who is retiring after long service with the Bank. The new Agent for Greater London, Alex Golledge, will be joining us at our annual Bank of England Panel early next year. We thank Rob Elder who has faithfully and diligently worked with us over the last eight years to deliver invaluable sessions for our members and wider West London partners on behalf of the BoE. 

The Forum will present an opportunity for senior business leaders in the West London area to directly feed into the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee, as well as on WLB’s strategy for the coming years, over a three course tasting meal at the infamous Ormer Mayfair restaurant.
