Do you want to hear an inspiring speaker, Julia Langkraehr, and network with dozens of business owners and entrepreneurs? Come to Wandsworth Chamber’s next Big Breakfast on 30th September at the lovely Battersea Quarter Restaurant.

Julia Langkraehr

Julia Langkraehr

These regular events are highly popular with local enterprises. This Wednesday, the invited guest is serial entrepreneur Julia Langkraehr. She built three multi-million pound retail businesses in three European countries and is now a strategic coach. She moved to London in 1999 to develop new revenue streams in shopping centres. After being made redundant, she founded and built Retail Profile Europe, which specialises in developing new revenue streams for shopping centres and working with start-up retailers.

The business expanded to two European countries and merged with the largest competitor in the sector, Space and People PLC, allowing Julia to successfully exit. It now has offices in London, Glasgow, Hamburg, Moscow and Delhi and its turnover exceeds £30 million. In 2014 she founded Bold Clarity which provides facilitation, coaching and training to entrepreneurs, CEOs, their leadership teams and peer groups. It works with companies which turn over £2-50 million to help them grow their business.

Julia’s talk will deliver a powerful and inspirational presentation to introduce you to the “Six Key Components” of a successful business: vision, people, data, issues, process and traction. Her website is www.boldclarity.com.

Steve Pinto, CEO of Wandsworth Chamber of Commerce says, “This is an opportunity to hear an inspiring speaker, do a short pitch about your own business, and network with fellow businesspeople. The atmosphere at our events is always informative and pleasant, and you can make good contacts. If you are considering joining the Chamber please do come along and talk to me. I’m the guy rushing around madly getting everything in order!”

Minon Madness at Asda Clapham Junction

London’s Asda Clapham Junction store has held Minions language lessons using a motion activated themed checkout, complete with Minion themed bananas.

To celebrate the launch of the new Minions movie, the store created the checkout, which surprised shoppers by shouting out memorable Minion sounds as they passed through.

Colleagues at the store then repeated the phrases, saving their best for when any Minion-themed BANANAS were purchased (pictured above).

Shoppers’ reactions to the checkout were filmed with the best efforts shared on social media.

Clapham Junction store manager, Glenn Ries, said: “We know our customers love Minions but to truly be despicable you need to speak the language, that’s why we created our checkout to help people understand the difference between their Bob, and their bananas.
