Former England rugby international Kyran Bracken MBE will host the Business Conference at the 2020 BMF Members Conference & Awards which takes place on 16 & 17 September at De Vere Beaumont Estate, Old Windsor.
Kyran Bracken played rugby for England for ten years, the highlight being his contribution to their World Cup win in 2003. Until the advent of the professional game, he balanced playing for Bristol with a successful career in law. He went on to play 170 times for Saracens, tour with the Lions and appear on numerous occasions with the Barbarians.
After retiring, he swapped his rugby shirt for ice skates to win ITV’s Dancing On Ice. His passion for skating continues, but he has also stayed close to rugby as a coach at Leicester. He is equally engaging on the conference platform outlining his formula for success, using practical examples from an England team who progressed from nearly men to World Champions.
BMF CEO, John Newcomb said: “As a champion in two different disciplines, Kyran embodies our Conference theme of Sustaining Excellence. We are delighted that he will be hosting our main event for BMF members this year.”
The two-day BMF Members’ event sees the business Conference and black-tie Awards Dinner taking place on 17 September at the De Vere Beaumont Estate, Old Windsor, Berkshire. The Conference’s social programme, which takes place on 16 September, features the BMF’s annual Golf Tournament at the nearby Windlesham Golf Course, and the Great BMF Boat Race, which involves coaching and a fun regatta at Dorney Lake Boat Club.
The BMF also thanked headline sponsor, Marshalls Stonemarket, and Monument Tools and First Event for sponsoring its social activities.
