BOSS LEADERS OF THE FUTURE CONFERENCE REVIEW

14 APRIL 2025

BOSS Leaders of the Future Conference Review

A packed room of future leaders attended a bi-annual conference at Fellowes Brands in Doncaster on 10th April.

Keynote Speaker, Nick Saunders was first on the agenda running an energetic and dynamic morning session titled 'Connection, Collaboration, Conflict Resolution: Turning Relationships into Results'. He coached delegates on how to turn relationships into results, by delivering a powerful message in a highly entertaining style that is unusual, unstuffy and unpretentious.

In the afternoon, delegates heard from Linsey Adams of Reckitt Pro Solutions. She shared her career journey to date and was the winner of the Professional of the Year Award at the BOSS Awards. Linsey is the Head of Trade Marketing and Customer Activation at Reckitt Pro Solutions and she spoke about starting her career in sales at Red Bull and how she has gone onto hold commercial and marketing positions across multiple channels and 4 years ago joined Reckitt.

This was followed three interactive workshop sessions run by:

Leanne Gregg, People Director, evo Group

Using Emotional Intelligence to mediate internal workplace conflict

Jonathan Smith, Consultant, Avery Europe

Winning Negotiations: Building Stronger Customer Relationships

Darryl Brunt, UK & Ireland Sales and Marketing Director, Fellowes Brands

Overcoming Challenges in Building Emotional Intelligence for Leadership

The day concluded with an industry panel hosted by Shaun Tidman of Avery with the workshop hosts and Linsey Adams, who discussed hot topics from the days final discussions.

BOSS would like to thank Fellowes Brands for hosting the conference and allowing delegates to view their products in their showroom.

The LOTF Committee were delighted to announce their NextGen Mentoring and Core Skills Programmes which will launch later in the year, supported by the evo Foundation. To stay to stay up to date with these schemes ensure you and your employees join the LOTF Community hub.
