Matthew Key at the Keynes

Matthew Key the CEO of O2 Europe is the speaker at the final meeting of the Eton Keynes Society - this coming Thursday (1st May) starting at 8-45pm. According to the Telegraph yesterday;

‘Former semi-professional footballer Matthew Key scored a business hat-trick in 2007. O2’s sponsorship of the former Millennium Dome, a deal which Key fought hard to get past his board, proved a stroke of marketing genius as legions of fans flocked to see the likes of Prince and Take-That perform at the former white elephant.  By way of an encore, Key landed the coveted contract to bring Apple’s iPhone - the most anticipated electronics device in memory - to the UK, seeing off Vodafone in the process.  Telecoms’ rising star now has to prove he can perform in the European big league.’

If teaching colleagues would like to come to the meeting you are very welcome, there will also be room for teachers who are happy to bring along small groups of students but please email me first for details and confirmation. Thanks.

I will provide a report on the superb talk by Clara Furse later on today.
