BMF Awards
THE BMF HAS announced the companies nominated to represent their region for the BMF Training Company of the Year title and nominees for the BMF Supplier Engagement Award.
DR DORIAN DUGMORE, one of the world’s foremost authorities on corporate wellness and its impact on company performance, is to speak at the BMF’s Members’ Day Annual Conference on 27 September, sponsored by Encon Insulation.
Dr Dugmore, who has worked in cardiovascular medicine and wellness for 30 years, is on the Board of the League Managers Association at the FA Elite Performance Centre at St George’s Park, where the BMF conference takes place. He invented the Fit to Manage programme, which focuses on reducing stress and heart disease in management and is now used by a wide range of football managers and many other clients. BMF CEO John Newcomb said, “Anyone who heard Dorian Dugmore speak at the BMF All Industry Conference back in 2013 knows they can expect a fascinating insight into protecting yourself and your team from the stresses and strains of corporate life. Following on from that event, Dorian designed a Wellness Programme specifically tailored for our industry, which BMF has implemented with its own staff.” There are limited delegate places remaining for the event.
