Former Porsche & BMW MD announced as keynote speaker of the Kent B2B, Ashford



Kent's longest running business-to-business exhibition and conference, the Kent B2B, run by Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce welcomes a giant of the business world to its Ashford event on 7 July at the Ashford International Hotel. Kevin Gaskell has worked with leading luxury car marques Porsche and BMW and is recognised as one of the most capable leaders of his generation.

As a well-respected keynote speaker Kevin has experience of speaking at a variety of business environments including Google UK. Richard Trinder, Director, comments on one of Kevin’s recent keynotes; “Thank you for the inspirational speech you delivered to open our Google Think event last week. Your on-stage presence and natural charisma shone through. This coupled with the strength of your content and the clarity of your messages raised the quality of our event from the outset. You injected gravitas, humour and credibility.”

Bringing his open and involving style to the audience Kevin will help delegates to better understand how they can define and implement change in their own organisations.

Brand experience

Speaking about his scheduled appearance Kevin commented: “Great companies and amazing brands are not seen or heard, rather they are experienced. Using practical tools and real examples I help leaders to transform their organisations, achieve results – and have fun!”


Full conference programme and 100 exhibitors

Warren Knight will also be appearing at the Kent B2B in a conference programme that is designed to meet the needs of businesses from Ashford and across the county.  The Kent B2B which is sponsored by Caxtons, will have more than 100 exhibitors showcasing existing and new products and services – many with special offers and competitions on the day. The day kicks off with a business breakfast, sponsored by Jelf, featuring Clive Lewis talking about Edward De Bono’s “Six Thinking Hats” and will finish with the Chamber’s Annual Dinner, sponsored by Furley Page with Guy Browning.


Jo James Chief Executive of the Kent Invicta Chamber says “We’re looking forward to our 29th year of the Kent B2B and a productive day that will offer businesses of all sizes and from all sectors a place to meet, network and do business.”
