It's very nearly two years since the idea of a Business Club at The J.Davidson was first conceived, and the monthly breakfast get-togethers have rapidly grown in popularity ever since.

The chance to network with others over breakfast rolls and freshly-brewed coffee has doubtless played its part, but the quality of guest speakers who regularly hold the room spellbound with insights into their field of expertise ranks just as highly on the list of attractions.

From Premier League referee Anthony Taylor to TV personality Jenny Powell or PPP Management director and owner Sam Alford, the topics have been varied but universally well received.

June promises to be no different, with the headline act for our latest Business Club meeting none other than Alty manager Phil Parkinson and director of football Rob Esteva.

The pair's last appearance at the Business Club was a year ago, when members were treated to a first-hand account of the momentous decision to transition from part-time to full-time professional football.

So, what's the verdict on the intervening 12 months? How successfully do Phil and Rob feel the club have adapted to the demands and challenges of a full-time environment? The answers will be provided on Friday, June 30th, starting at 8.30am, in the Mornflake Sponsors' Lounge at The J.Davidson Stadium, when Phil and Rob sit down with members to reflect on year one and discuss plans for the future, including the upcoming 2023/24 campaign.

The Business Club is great value every time it convenes, you can count on that, but this really is one not to be missed...
