Brad Burton – Founder of 4Networking

Get Off Your Arse!

6 years ago Brad Burton delivered pizzas to keep his start-up business afloat – now he delivers hilarious, inspiring, laugh out loud talks on life, business and motivation, has written two books and runs the famous 4Networking enterprise. All in a day’s work! Never one to toe the conventional line, Brad used the motivation of £25,000 of personal debt and many people telling him “it’ll never work” to build the world’s fastest growing business breakfast network — now a multi-million pound international business.

Please don’t underestimate Brad. The jeans, tshirt and Manc accent conceal an energy and incredible ability to make things happen that is truly infectious and will hugely inspire you.
