The 'If you can dream it, you can do it' Breakfast, 25th October 2013

As MD of Propellernet, Nikki Gatenby spent 20 years working in advertising agencies in London and Paris before returning to her roots in Sussex in recent times. Based in the heart of the Lanes in Brighton, Propellernet is a digital marketing agency, providing high quality services to the travel, fashion, retail and financial sectors. Nikki has always loved learning new skills and currently holds qualifications from Kingston University, London Business School and Cranfield University. In addition to running a commercially successful business, Nikki also focuses on ensuring that her workplace is a calm and happy place for her staff. This concern and her investment in staff welfare has resulted in Propellernet winning numerous awards: under Nikki's watch, Propellernet was voted Best Place to Work in the UK, 2013 by the Great Places to Work Institute and The Guardian. Nikki herself was awarded Managing Director of the Year by the Brighton and Hove Business Awards in June this year. But that's not all: Propellernet was awarded the accolade of European Search Agency of the Year, 2013 in the European Search Awards. Propellernet also holds an Investors in People Health and Wellbeing status - a real coup, not least due to the company's relatively small size. Outside working hours, Nikki's boundless energy supports her love of scuba diving, fast cars, helicopters and motorbikes! This business breakfast features Nikki talking about making life better - for her customers AND her staff and how to harness your dreams to turn them into reality. She's a powerful believer in the positive and talks about grabbing life with both hands so that the future really is ours to create.
