Venue and Date

This year's breakfast will be held at St. Helen's Bishopsgate on Wednesday, 4th November, from 7.30 am until 9.00 am. The cost will remain £12.50 per person.

The Breakfast

We are looking forward to another excellent breakfast this year. Although we know people come to pray, we also want to offer a quality breakfast to encourage fellowship and networking as we prepare to pray together. Last year the team at St. Helen's excelled in providing the breakfast for us.

Speaker

Our speaker for 2009 will be Andy Brookes. For the past five years, Andy has helped lead the change programme to improve business practice in the London wholesale insurance market, working with both Lloyd’s and Aon.

Having graduated (and post-graduated) in economics, Andy spent the first decade of his career as an economist with the CBI, the Bank of England and in consultancy. He then worked on the development and implementation of CREST, the settlement system for equities and government debt. After this he ran IT and then UK wholesale payment systems at the Bank of England. In between he was responsible for monetary policy implementation at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

Having become a Christian as a teenager, he is currently an active member of an Anglican church in Muswell Hill. He is also involved in a variety of work-based ministries, particularly the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity.

Andy lives in north London and has been married to Caroline for 23 years. They have four teenage children.
