One of the country’s top business leaders will be the keynote speaker at the 2012 conference of the Swindon Mindful Employer Network in October.

David Frost CBE, DL is Chairman of the National Network of Local Enterprise Partnerships and is co-author with Dame Carol Black of "Health at Work - An Independent Review of Sickness Absence" which was commissioned by Government last year. He was Director-General of the British Chambers of Commerce from 2003 to 2011.

David will be speaking about the Review and giving some personal reflections on the importance of positive attitudes to mental health and well-being in the workplace.

This year’s event will take place at the Swindon Marriott on Monday 15th October and is themed ‘Leadership and Wellbeing’. Invitations will be circulated in the summer.

David says of his visit to the town: “I am pleased to be invited to take part in the conference and very much support the values and principles of the Mindful Employer network which is supporting businesses and their staff up and down the country. The issue of well-being at work, sickness absence and leadership is gaining importance in these challenging times. I look forward to meeting Swindon businesses and working with Richmond Fellowship Wiltshire on the event.”

David Latham of Richmond Fellowship Wiltshire who manages the Swindon Mindful Employer Network says: “We are excited that David has agreed to speak at our fourth annual conference. He is an important representative of businesses in the UK and brings a wealth of experience in successful business leadership. I believe many organisations in the town will be eager to hear what he has to say.”

Adam Flint, General Manager of the Swindon Marriott comments: “Swindon Marriott is delighted to support the conference this year which we believe will be another highly successful and popular occasion. These events have grown in significance over the last 4 years and have gained an important status in the Swindon business calendar. We are particularly looking forward to hearing guest speaker David Frost who has made a major contribution to the issue of Leadership and Well-being in the workplace.”
