Leaders of the Future are a group of individuals from Manufacturers, Wholesalers and Dealers who all want to have an impact on the industry. Their aim is to empower future leaders to believe they can achieve anything they set out to, and provide the support along the way.
Their mission statement is ‘Leading, Guiding, Connecting, Shaping’.
They are striving to bring together individuals from all channels in the industry to form a dynamic network who can share ideas, facilitate connections and learn from one another.
They want to ensure that the industry attracts the best talent and that talent is able to flourish. Leaders of the Future provides induction training to new entrants to the industry and also runs events to allow individuals to form strong networks within our industry.
