How do you entice some of the UK’s leading CFOs into a room to discuss regulation? Tell them it is being held at Michelin Star chef Atul Kochhar’s restaurant, Benares, and that the food and wine is free!
Seriously though, regulation in today’s business world is anything but a dry subject. In the Coalition Agreement published in 2010, the TorieLibDems said that they would cut red tape for businesses or individuals and not rely on rules and regulations by themselves to ‘get things done’. Exciting times for the money makers and entrepreneurs of these sunny isles I hear you say? May be not... is there less regulation now than five years ago?
RSG, one of the largest independent UK recruiters (and my employer) is holding a round table dinner for a number of CFOs to discuss the above topic. This is being held at Benares on the 17th April. The evening will be leading with the question ‘Can business self-regulate?’ As a Kiwi with a love of good food, wine and conversation, I am looking forward to a glass of (hopefully Marlborough) Sauvignon Blanc, a good Lamb Pasanda and some real insights as these business leaders share their views and experiences on these subjects. My gut feel is that the government’s words and the government’s actions are some distance apart (surprise, surprise)!
No doubt, as the evening progresses, there will be references to The All Black’s loss in the Autumn Internationals, The up and coming Lion’s tour and Ashes series. I need to prepare my responses thoroughly.
I promise to come back to you all after the event to update on the thoughts of these leaders, the quality of the food and on the sporting banter...
