Journalist and broadcaster John McCarthy, Britain’s longest-held hostage who spent 2000 days in captivity in the Lebanon, will be the after dinner guest speaker at ACFO’s fleet awards on November 2 at the Birmingham NEC Hilton Metropole.

Mr McCarthy’s speech is likely to apply his experience to the equivalent art of business negotiation and successfully dealing with bullies, both with workplace applications. Nominations for the ACFO awards are open until the end of this month.
