Big Business Breakfast Club – Supporting Siobhan’s Trust
17th October 2023Sponsored by Adventureholic
Join us on Friday 20th October at Leonardo Royal, Brighton, from 8am. The BBBC team will be on hand to facilitate any introductions and as always, the legend himself Alex Ryan from Marketing 101 with his marketing hints and tips. The room will remain open after breakfast and hearing from our guest speaker so that we give you plenty of time to meet other likeminded businesspeople in the room.
Our Sponsor- Adventureholic
Local entrepreneur, international adventurer and long-time supporter of the BBBC (and its forebears), Neil Laughton, is sponsoring October’s breakfast meeting. Earlier this month he organised and supported Paula Reid on her 400-mile charity cycle ride across Ukraine with Mark Cropley and his Wildbox Adventure Vehicle. Starting in Odesa on the shores of the Black Sea, their route went North via Uman and Kyiv to Chernobyl on Ukraine’s northern border with Belarus. Neil escorted Paula on his iconic penny farthing bicycle and wearing a top hat when not driving the support vehicle or making the tea. Neil is delighted to have published his book ‘Adventureholic – Extraordinary journeys on seven continents by land, sea and air’ on 12th October. Endorsed by Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Bear Grylls and Sir Richard Branson, it is available in hardback, electronically and on audible – in time for Christmas!
Guest Speaker- Paula Reid

Sponsors Nominated Charity – Siobhan’s Trust
The mission of Siobhan’s Trust – Ukraine is to provide food and practical support to the huge number of internally displaced Ukrainians, traumatised by the Russian invasion of their homeland.
Since they set up a static feeding station on the Polish/Ukrainian border in early March – they have now evolved our ‘modus operandi’ to provide a mobile service with food trucks venturing out across the whole country, from our bases in Lviv and Zaporizhzhia.
They can feed up to 4,000 refugees per day from their six mobile kitchens.
We look forward to seeing you all on Friday 20th October, tickets will sell out so book in advance.
