At age 19, Carl ranked number one in the 2003 "Rich List 2020" - 20 people under 21 predicted to be worth millions in the next decade. Carl took top slot with a projected worth of £100 million, twice the number 2 position. Some were already famous, including stars like Kiera Knightley and Wayne Rooney. Carl's still only 25 with his business murphx growing by an impressive 400% in the past 18 months and 2009/10 on target for £20m turnover.
murphx has demonstrated impressive organic growth as well as completing no fewer than five acquisitions since 2004, with another expected to complete before the end of 2009. The business has recently been awarded "ISP of the Year" and Carl intends to build upon this accolade to increase the businesses market share.

Lloyd's Register & University of Southampton - Example of commercial collaboration
Lloyd's Register, one of the world's best known risk management organisations, has worked in collaboration with the University of Southampton for a number of years on many projects. To help improve communication and drive business growth, the organisation plans to move into the region, to the University's Boldrewood Campus as it is redeveloped as a Maritime Centre of Excellence.
This is a highly innovative move and speakers from both parties will explain in more detail the reasons behind it and what benefits and constraints there are. Delegates will be able to hear first hand experience of how this collaboration is expected to drive innovation and growth.
