Join us at 6:30pm on Wednesday 21 May 2025 at Dawn Capital (Ilona Rose House, Manette Street, London) for the Trinity Business & City Association Distinguished Speaker Series with one of Britain’s best-known business leaders. Lord Wolfson of Aspley Guise is the CEO of Next plc – the high street brand whose recent strong performances have been viewed as bucking the trend.

Lord Wolfson is also a Trinity alumnus and it is fantastic to have this opportunity to spend some time in his company and to learn from his experiences in business.

Simon Wolfson was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge where he graduated with a degree in Law.

He started working for Next in 1991 as a Sales Assistant and joined the Board as Sales and Marketing Director in 1997. In 1999 he was made Managing Director and was appointed Chief Executive in August 2001. Since he became Chief Executive Next shares have outperformed the FTSE 100 index by more than 500%.

Simon has always had an active interest in economics, history and politics and was created a Peer in May 2010

The talk will be followed by a Q&A and a drinks and networking reception.

We are very grateful to TBCA committee member, Avalon Lee-Bacon, for hosting this event at Dawn Capital (Manette Street, London).
