One of the UK’s greatest ever athletes and the man who won and delivered the 2012 Olympics Games in London will be the keynote speaker at a major business event in Coventry and Warwickshire.
Sebastian Coe, who won four gold medals and three silver medals at Olympics and European Championships – setting 12 world records over four distances during an illustrious running career, will be speaking at the Chamber of Commerce Big Business Lunch at the Ricoh Arena in March.
After his career as a sportsman, Lord Coe moved into politics and became an MP before he took on the role of leading the bid and, ultimately, delivering the hugely successful London 2012 Games.
He is seen as the ideal keynote speaker at the event as Coventry approaches its year as UK City of Culture in 2021 and Birmingham hosts the Commonwealth Games in 2022, which will also see events taking place at the Ricoh Arena and in Leamington Spa.
