Stationers this week added Carpenters' Hall to an ever-growing list of halls visited during the Vision 350 redevelopment of Stationers' Hall. They gathered there for the Annual Lecture which this year was delivered by Greg Dyke who is best known as a former Director General of the BBC and Chair of the Football Association. Greg addressed the topic of "What next for the BBC, one of the nation’s greatest assets?".
It was a very successful event with Liveryman Peter Day introducing Greg and later both asking probing questions and managing questions from the floor. Greg spoke with a great mix of insight and anecdote and full coverage can be read here. Greg also gave us some views on the future of football which can be read here.
