Liverpool Chamber Business Breakfast - Calderstones Park June 9, 2008

Business Breakfasts present an opportunity for members and their guests to hear local successful business people expose the reasons for their success (and possibly pick up a few tips!), to meet informally and discuss ideas and issues of the day, promote their business and make new contacts.

Meetings will commence at 7.45am with coffee and registration followed by breakfast at 8.00am. Our guest speaker will take the platform at 8.30am for approximately 20 minutes after which members and their guests will be invited to ask questions. The meeting will conclude at 9.00am.

Our next speaker is Alan Mills CBE

Alan was the tournament referee for the Wimbledon tennis championships from 1982 to 2005. Although each individual tennis match was controlled by an on-court umpire, Alan Mills ran the entire tournament. However, perhaps he was most well known because the decision to stop play in the event of rain was that of Mills, and so his face was familiar to millions of television viewers worldwide, in the corner of Centre Court, clutching his two-way radio and glancing upwards at the sky in search of rainclouds.

Mills was himself an accomplished tennis player. At the age of 17 he was the senior county champion in his home county of Lancashire, and he reached the last 16 in the men's singles at Wimbledon on two occasions. He was also the first man in the history of the Davis Cup to win a match with the scoreline 6–0, 6–0, 6–0, completing the match in just 32 minutes.
