GLASGOW MARCH 23rd

Presenting Speakers Lesley McLuskey & David Reilly

SUBJECT:

ABOUT LESLEY:

Lesley McLuskey - Billmar Franchise & Business Consulting.

I enjoyed a successful career over a period of 28 years in the Financial Services Industry working with businesses of all shapes and sizes. I have helped many businesses at all stages in their life cycle, from start up mode to expansion/franchising and ultimately protection of their assets and profits.
I held senior management positions in sales, operations, change and distribution and was Operations Director of a fast- growing business within a major global organisation.
I now run my own business, Billmar Franchise & Business Consulting.
As a Franchise Consultant I have helped a number of business owners develop their franchise business. This includes;
Feasibility study
Preparing the core business for franchising
Development of the Franchise system and documentation
Development of Recruitment strategy and ultimately recruiting their franchisees
Franchisee support and performance improvement

Within the business consulting part of the business I help business owners develop business plans and strategies to achieve their business goals. I also work with them on an ongoing basis to ensure successful execution of their plans.
Over the years I have taken on both Coach and Mentoring roles to help individuals with career and business challenges and goals.

I am also on the board of Shopmobility East Kilbride & District. This is a voluntary role which I took on last year to help them develop and implement strategies that will move them from operating as a “fund receiving” charity to a self sufficient service provider.

FISHING EVENTS IN 2012

Please note we are organizing our first outing for 2012 now and details will be released shortly ...

Our Inaugural meeting took place of the Fortunetwork Fishermen and Fisherwomen on 28th October 2011 Venue Selmmuir Trout Fishery, Livingston.

This was Fortunetwork’s first outing and because of logistics the Markle Fishery near Haddington in East Lothian was the venue.

The weather did manage to put off a few potential recruits but the outing was a success nonetheless.

One newest member managed to bag two rainbow trout in the first 90 minutes.With 2 trout coming in at a total of 5lb meant that good eating to be had in that household.

Looking forward to another outing before the snow stops play.
