Gerald Ratner will be speaking at a charity dinner that has been organised to support The Anthony Seddon Trust Fund. The Anthony Seddon Fund supports mental health and wellbeing issues in and around Greater Manchester. The event has been organised by Kamlesh Rajput ACCA who is the CEO and Founder of Sterling Finance (UK) Limited. Kamlesh started a not-for-profit networking group called Curry on Business in 2002.
Curry on Business is a local networking group that meets on the third Tuesday of every month at Aamani Restaurant in Tameside. The networking group was created 10 years ago to support small businesses, entrepreneurs, start-up businesses, and like-minded professionals. They meet and share their experiences; learn from each other and also support each other. The very first meeting was supported by 38 entrepreneurs and this provided the encouragement to continue the initiative.
Each year in February a Charity Dinner is organised to support local charities. So far Curry on Business has raised thousands of pounds for the following charities:
- The Anthony Seddon Trust
- Willow Wood Hospice
- People First
The 10th Anniversary Event is being held on Tuesday 15 February 2022 with Gerald Ratner as the keynote speaker.
Kamlesh had the opportunity to meet Gerald in September 2021 and obtained a fascinating insight into the mental health battle of Gerald. Gerald famously lost £1.2b in a 15-second speech at the Royal Albert Hall. Gerald suffered humiliation, repercussions and isolation after he lost everything and endured one of the most difficult times after the failure. Now, he runs a successful online business turning over around £25m. His survival, fight back and current success provides a credible and inspiring tale and help to raise awareness for mental health and well-being, not only for people in their personal lives and careers but also for entrepreneurs.
