Business people from across Lancashire enjoyed the latest Choose Chorley event that saw an Olympic gold medallist speak about setting goals and overcoming obstacles enabling him to reach the pinnacle of his sport.
The Nissan Ambassador spoke about how ‘you have got to dream above your station to succeed’ and showed how his experience in sport could be harnessed in business.
“Inviting someone like Darren to speak at the event is a great motivation to everyone and it brings extra attention that helps to put Chorley on the map.”
The evening also featured a Question Time style panel chaired by Dave Guest from BBC North West Tonight with interesting debates on attracting new businesses to the area, Chorley’s retail offer and the potential for developing businesses locally to be leaders in their field.
