FOUR times Olympic gold medallist Sir Matthew Pinsent CBE will share his experiences with entrepreneurs later this week.
The champion oarsman is to be the keynote speaker at Elevation 07, a small business conference being hosted by Worsley accountancy firm, Champion, and Manchester law firm, George Davies.
Pinsent, well known for his partnership with Sir Steve Redgrave, said: "There are so many parallels between sport and business, it takes a lot of motivation and determination to get up early every day and head out in a rowing boat in the cold and rain.
"When you're running your own business there's no-one else there to motivate you, you have to do it yourself but in order to do it, you have to believe in yourself and what you're trying to achieve."
Elevation 07 is on Thursday April 26 at New Century House, Manchester. For more information or to book a place visit www.elevation07.com
