			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When people decide to seek business advice, support, or training its important that they choose an event which suitable.  One size does not fit all.  At Ampod, we are not in the business of creating a stampede to our events.  We want the participant to experience the luxury of being listened to, and their business needs addressed comprehensively.</p>
<p>The Ampod Business Leadership weekend for Directors and Business Owners is the perfect place to focus exclusively on the issues of Growth and Sustainability of your business. In the company of experts in the field of Financial Investment, Social Marketing, Business Coaching, Procurement, Financial Planning, and Strategies for Growth you will be supported and guided out of any confusion that you currently have about investment possibilities, how to take your operations to the next level and how to ensure that you leave a lasting legacy.  Our Business Coach will ensure that you get the maximum benefit from this weekend as goal setting will be required of you on Friday!</p>

</ul>
<p>The full cost of this event is £2,500 but we are able, through our sponsors, Barings, Pearson, and Life Puzzles,  to bring it to you at a substantially reduced cost of £650.</p>
<p>Let me remind you what else is on offer to make your stay, really comfortable and why coming along to Eynsham Hall, could be one of your best business decisions of the year, if not the decade!</p>
<p>1. Your own room for two nights<br />
2. TV &amp; Hairdryer<br />
3. Tea / Coffee making in rooms<br />

<p>Eynsham Hall has a long history as a conference and training venue. Nestled in 30 acres of Oxfordshire parkland, it provides the perfect setting for conferences, meetings and events; free from distractions yet stimulating and invigorating.</p>
<p>The award winning Gun Room bar is on the ground floor offering an extensive selection of beverages including cocktails and a bar menu available from 12pm until 9pm. There are also 2 restaurants, the Red and Oak Rooms.</p>
<p>I think you understand why Eynsham was designated as the ideal location and why you too will agree with me when you attend. That the beauty and tranquillity and exquisite food provides the perfect getaway location for you to focus on your business growth, development and sustainability.</p>
