Guests at the 2020 Business Breakfast enjoyed presentations from 3 great speakers last week.
The meeting was sponsored by Staton Mortgage and Protection Specialists, and the owner Mike Staton, shared his insights into what he thought we could expect to see over the next few years in relation to mortgage rates and inflation. His opinion was that we would see a further hike form the Bank of England this year but that it would be a short term measure based on the current mortgage offers available on the market.

Our next guest speaker was Malcolm Hall MBE, owner of Hall Fast Industrial Supplies, Malcolm shared his ambition to raise money for The Frank Bruno Foundation and Switch Up, which we will learn more about later.
Malcolm gives his time freely to explain his story to businesses and school groups in the hope of inspiring others and in March 2017 he was appointed as an Export Champion in an ambassadorial role by the cabinet office to promote exporting to other SME’s and in the Queens New Year’s honours 2016, he was awarded an MBE in recognition of his services to business.
On the 14th October 2022 he will be climbing to Everest Base Camp to raise money and awareness for the Frank Bruno Foundation and also for the Switch Up Mansfield Community Hub. Malcolm gave a very rousing talk about getting out into the community and helping to raise the aspirations of young people. It was the reason that he had invited Marcellus Baz to speak to fellow 2020 members as he had recently opened the Mansfield School of Boxing in Ravesdale, which is where the Switch Up Mansfield Community Hub will be based.
