Samuel Wilson Loan Trust 250th anniversary event at The Mansion House in the City of London was attended by David Stringer-Lamarre, MD of FortisCL. The Trust grants business loans to young people for establishing and developing new businesses.

The event brought together new entrepreneurs and successful business creators to exchange ideas and experiences. David said that it was a very good example of the convening power of the Lord Mayor and the work of City organisations is supporting commerce.

There were key note speeches by The Lord Mayor The Right Honourable Vincent Keaveny, The Deputy Mayor of London for Business Rajesh Agrawal and John McLean OBE, The Institute of Directors, City of London.

The Master Entrepreneur Judy Hadden moderated an engaging panel of business creators.
