OK, so we didn’t actually get to shake his hand, but at least we were in the same room as him!
Yes, today Ross Gerring, MD of Itomic, was in attendance at the “Sir Richard Branson ‘On the Couch’ WA Italian Club Luncheon Event” at the Burswood Convention Centre of Western Australia. Mr Branson was in fine form, with plenty of words of wisdom to share from his years of experience as an entrepreneur, supporter of good causes, and all round good guy. Part proceeds from the event will go to the Strike A Chord for Cancer Foundation and Itomic were delighted to be able to make a modest donation towards this fantastic cause.
The highlight of the event was when Sir Richard decided to carry his interviewer Dixie Marshall of Channel Nine News off the stage. Not bad for nearly sixty year old! It should be interesting watching on tv tonight.
