PCR Tech and IT retail, distribution and vendor news
Penny Haslam, BBC Breakfast business news presenter, will present a keynote at the upcoming PCR Retail Boot Camp.
Providing an update on the economic climate and discussing ways in which dealers can survive during these difficult times, Haslam’s session will round off what is shaping up to be a vibrant and informative conference programme.
Haslam has worked in broadcast journalism for over a decade, covering general news, business, personal finance, consumer and workplace programmes. Along with her regular spot on BBC Breakfast and the BBC News Channel, she has presented Panorama and worked on BBC Radio 5 Live and Radio 4 Extra. Amid the serious world of news and current affairs, she has done a stint as a stand-up comic.
"We’re delighted to announce Penny Haslam as our keynote speaker for the PCR Retail Boot Camp," said PCR publisher and Intent Media managing director Stuart Dinsey. "She is a familiar face as a serious business journalist, but she combines this with warm humour, making her perfect for our event."
Previously confirmed for the PCR Retail Boot Camp conference are Micro-P’s head of independent retail Mike Harris, whose session is entitled ‘There’s No Place Like The Connected Home’, plus GfK director Carl West, who will present ‘Where Do We Go From Here’.
