Heather Townsend and The Efficiency Coach achieved three highly commended at the inaugural Conquest Business Awards, on March 25th 2010.

Pam Woods of Conquest Business Events said: "The evening was dedicated to celebrating the success of our local economy."

We were delighted to be highly commended for 'Young Business Person of the year', 'Best Business Start-up' and 'Internet Marketing'. After reading the judges comments, it appeared that we narrowly missed out on winning each of these categories.

The 1st Executive Village is a great success

In collaboration with Neil Ryder (Twitter ID:neilryder) we’ve developed and launched a new networking group called The Executive Village. These are just two of the testimonials we received from business owners at the event, who gave the event a massive thumbs up.

I know I am not the only one who came away with some really valuable things and I am certainly not the only one to be making some immediate - sometimes simple – but definitely result-changing amendments to my working practises!

Business isn't that tough when you have a dozen intelligent individuals, experts in their chosen field, creating a mastermind aliance, with a desire to share knowledge and wisdom. Good company, good food and a very enjoyable evening.


The Executive Village is based on the principle that with the support and input of fellow business owners and leaders in a confidential dinner setting, we can discuss and find solutions to the key if onlys… that affect both the day to day, medium and long term challenges of running our businesses.

Guests each raise a challenge/issue/question related to their business and then with the support of two experienced facilitators, their colleagues draw on their expertise and experience to investigate, discuss and propose solutions. Solutions that will help them deliver sustainable exceptional performance from their employees, from the teams they work in and from the organisation as a whole.

The 1st Executive Village launched in Swindon on 17th November, and new groups in Bedford, Bromsgrove, London, Reigate and Reading will follow in the new year.
