BUSINESS leaders from across the North West will hear a retail king bare his sole in Lancaster.

Entrepreneurs are to come to the city to meet John Timpson, chief executive and chairman of Timpson, to discover the secrets behind one of the biggest names on the high street.

He will be the special guest at the latest 'Fit for Business' seminar at Lancaster University's leadership centre on Wednesday September 21.

The seminar is free and open to all business people, says entrepreneurial fellow Tricia Calway.

"During his talk John will share his experiences, outline his philosophy and tell us his secrets of leadership. I am sure people will be able to learn a lot from his story," she adds.

For details, call Tricia on 015395-39800.
