The Evening

The winners of the 2009 Thames Valley Business Magazine Awards were announced at the glittering black-tie dinner held at the Royal Berkshire Conference Centre at the Madejski Stadium Complex, Reading on Thursday 19 November.

The evening began at 6.30pm with a drinks reception.

Lord Lamont was the After Dinner Speaker at the Thames Valley Business Magazine Awards 2009.

Lord Lamont (Norman Lamont) was at the centre of British politics for many years. He was a Cabinet Minister under both Margaret Thatcher and John Major, and was a member of the House of Commons for twenty-five years. 

Norman Lamont was Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1990-1993 and introduced three Budgets.  He inherited the policy of membership of the ERM, which made it a difficult and controversial time to be Chancellor. This culminated in Britain’s exit from the ERM in September 1992.

Currently Lord Lamont, as well as being a working Peer, is a director of, and a consultant to a number of companies in the financial sector.

He was made a Life Peer in July 1998.
