08 Oct 2017

On Thursday 14th September, Digby, Lord Jones of Birmingham Kt. was the distinguished speaker at a Guest Masterclass at Bromsgrove School. Old Bromsgrovian and Head Boy, Lord Jones attended Bromsgrove School from 1966–1974 and went on to read Law at University College, London.

Lord Jones has spent a hugely successful career in Business, serving as the Director General of the CBI and Minister of State for Trade and Investment.

In 2011, Lord Jones published his first book Fixing Britain: The Business of Reshaping Our Nation which was shortlisted for the 2012 CMI Management Book of the Year. In 2017 Fixing Business: Making Profitable Business Work for the Good of All, was published.

Lord Jones is an active public speaker at events and engagements all over the UK and overseas, fulfilling his vision of promoting socially inclusive wealth creation and fighting for business and reform of public services. He champions the UK’s role in the world as a home of global competitiveness.

The Headmaster, Peter Clague, said “Lord Jones gave a barnstorming address that was witty and insightful. It was a tour de force, deftly explaining the political and social upheavals of the complex world that our pupils are inheriting. He also spoke eloquently of the power of education to transform lives, a message made more powerful by the fact that he attributes his own stellar career to his good fortune at being a Foundation Scholar at Bromsgrove School.”
