Peter Wilkinson was a guest speaker for Noel Leeming (the largest consumer electronics retailer in New Zealand) at out National Conference in November 2012. We could not have asked for a better speaker , Peter was able to relate to the business in simple terms and both be challenging and inspiring at the same time. Peter's way in public speaking resonated with the business and is still referred to today. I would highly recommend Peter as a speaker in any subject relating to retail - I have not come across too many people that can speak with the depth of knowledge and passion that Peter does.
