Make-A-Wish Gold Supporter, Tigrent Learning UK, celebrates success over austerity and 'Goes for Gold' with ongoing fundraising at this year's Great Minds 2011 Conference and Best of Britain Gala Dinner.

Tigrent Learning UK has raised £313,418 to date for Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK since 2007.

'Gold Supporter' of Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK, Tigrent Learning UK, the UK's leading provider of professional training programmes, culminates four years of high-impact Make-A-Wish fundraising at this year's Great Minds 2011 Conference and Best of Britain Gala Dinner, having raised £313,418 in total to date for Make-A-Wish.

Iain Edwards, Tigrent Learning UK's Managing Director and VP-International, presented Make-A-Wish's Fundraising Director, Karen England, with a cheque for £52,290.00 tonight, relating to the 2010 fundraising total, in front of 250 Gala Dinner guests at The Radisson Edwardian Hotel, Heathrow.
According to Iain Edwards: "I am so proud to be presenting Make-A-Wish tonight with a cheque for £52,290.00, culminating four years of team, trainer and customer fundraising by Tigrent Learning UK. As an organisation that teaches and inspires its customers to realise a personal vision of success, our customers' results speak for themselves: from Secret Millionaires to NLA-lauded Landlords, our valued customer base continues to achieve greatness, whether portfolios comprise property, stock or business-based investments. Strategies taught to customers are 'market-resisting' and ones that allow flexibility, regardless of macro-economic conditions".

The Great Minds Conference 2011 that took place today hosted some of the Best of British Minds including Alastair Campbell: former Blair government advisor, writer, communicator and strategist; Miles Shipside: Commercial Director of the UK's number one property site and lettings portal, Rightmove.co.uk; Kevin Green, property mogul, international trainer, Make-A-Wish Ambassador and social entrepreneur, presenting the learnings of Robert T. Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Education and the UK's leading inspirational and personal development guru, Dr Rohan Weerasinghe, sharing wisdom from his newly launched training brand, The Bald Truth (incorporating Turning Point).

According to Alastair Campbell: ..."I speak at a lot of conferences and very few have the energy and the buzz of last week's Great Minds 2011 Conference, hosted by Tigrent Learning UK. There were some exceptional minds on stage and in the audience. I was also pleased to be able to support Tigrent's ongoing commitment to Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK".

Karen England, Fundraising Director for Make-A-Wish, added to Iain Edwards's words: "I am delighted to be here this evening with so many of the Tigrent 'family'. The relationship between Make-A-Wish and Tigrent Learning UK, one that has evolved over the last four years, fuses the greater good with great friends. I have seen, with very open eyes, how investing in yourself through training has changed the lives of so many people who have come through Tigrent training. There is a direct synergy between the 'Making a Difference' to customers' lives as delivered by Tigrent Learning UK and the way that we at Make-A-Wish change children and young people's lives, on a daily basis. The total amount raised by Tigrent Learning UK since 2007 has funded for over 75 wishes - from a child's wish to be a Fireman for the day to swimming with dolphins in Florida or being Spiderman. The joy of realising dreams is certainly the order of the day".

As the Conference drew to a close this afternoon, after four inspirational speeches, our first first speaker, Miles Shipside, Commercial Director at Rightmove.co.uk added: "I am delighted to have been asked to speak at Tigrent Learning UK's Great Minds 2011 Conference today, where I was inspired by the company's commitment to excellence and the audience's passion for property. We at Rightmove.co.uk are absolutely passionate about our own online property business and delivering over and above the competition. Today was indeed refreshing and educational for all, myself included".

Post-Conference, the room took advantage of excellent networking opportunities and two book signings by Alastair Campbell and Dr Rohan Weerasinghe, followed by a Best of Britain themed Gala Dinner, complementary musical entertainment and further fundraising for Make-A-Wish.
