The Labour Finance and Industry Group, the Labour party’s link to business since 1972, have invited music entrepreneur and X Factor founder Simon Cowell to address and inspire the younger members within their ranks.
Chairman of the Labour Finance and Industry Group Dr. Peter Slowe said, “Simon Cowell is the greatest example of a British Entrepreneur who has made his mark in the Creative Industries, which to my mind is the future for our economy. Less emphasis must now be placed on the Financial Services sector, which is clearly shrinking, and much more emphasis placed on the Creative and Knowledge industries and Technology, which are our future.
No one has proven the influence of the media and the Creative Industries in our lives more than Simon Cowell. He has shown admirable drive and ambition, and we welcome him to motivate our young people, who are thirsty to take up the mantle.”
Culture Secretary, the Rt Hon. Ben Bradshaw is the guest of honour at the Labour Finance and Industry Group Annual Dinner and is expected to speak about the Digital Economy Bill.
The Labour Finance & Industry Group’s Annual Dinner will be held on Tuesday 15 December 2009, at the Reform Rooms in Pall Mall, London.
