Are you a business owner with a military connection?
Do not miss our Military in Business® virtual event on Thursday 9 November, where you’ll enjoy 90 minutes of top-notch networking with fellow business owners from the military community…alongside a healthy dose of banter!
The session will be hosted by:
XFE Yorkshire and Humber Ambassador, James Wilthew.
RAF Veteran James Wilthew owns and operates The Afghan Rug Shop in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire – the only shop purely selling fairtrade Afghan rugs and products outside Afghanistan – anywhere in the world. Of the four operational campaigns, James took part in, one was a 6-month tour of Northern Afghanistan in 2003 as part of the UK Provincial Reconstruction Team. It was here that his fascination for rugs started and where he founded a friendship that was reignited 12 years later.
