The industry event gives senior professionals the opportunity to interact with business colleagues and contacts. This year attendees will gain an insight into the motivations and philosophies of Simon Kossoff, the man that has steered the creation and development of restaurant group, Carluccio's. Under Kossoff's expert guidance the group has grown from a solitary venue in central London to a national, £90million plus, 59-strong restaurant group. Kossoff will reveal the Carluccio's story so far and the strategy he has put in place to stimulate and sustain growth, and ultimately reach the target of opening 100 UK stores and developing a wider international plan for the business. The event starts at 12pm with a networking drinks reception, followed by a three-course lunch. Tickets cost £135 plus VAT for Arena members and £175 plus VAT for non members.
