Thinkers & Shakers: Andrew Hamilton
Last chance to RSVP for next Tuesday's talk!

Parnell Inc.'s Thinkers & Shakers speaker series brings members speakers from critical parts of our economy, particularly in the provision of capital to both large and small businesses, to present their ideas and thoughts.

Next Tuesday, August 31, Andrew Hamilton - CEO of ICEHOUSE on Getting the Kiwi Economy Moving: Government, Corporate and SMEs.
