More than 60 business people from across Swindon attended the latest Institute of Directors (IoD) event where Andrew Fitton, Chairman of Swindon Town FC gave a talk on company takeovers and the challenges faced when acquiring a new business.

The event was arranged by Withy King Solicitors and took place at the County Ground on 1 July.

Rob Collins, partner from Withy King said: "The event was a great success and provided a great opportunity for local business people from Swindon to meet and network in a relaxed environment.

"Andrew's talk was very informative and those who attended were given a good insight into the running of the club by a very knowledgeable and informative speaker.

"The IoD is a hugely valuable forum where local business people can meet and share ideas and discuss issues. We're looking forward to continuing our relationship and supporting future events and seminars."
