James Caan, a star of the hit BBC television series Dragon's Den, has been lined up to speak in Kent next year.

He will be guest speaker at the annual Kent 2020 Vision being held at the Kent Showground, Detling, on April 22.

He will be revealing the secrets of business success and the attitude that will help delegates reach their goals.

Caan joined the Dragons in 2007. He started his career by founding a recruitment company that eventually achieved turnover of £130 million. He now runs private equity firm Hamilton Bradshaw, which has investments in 43 companies with turnover worth some £400 million.

Carole Black, events manager at Business Link, the show organizers, said: “Having someone as successful as James Caan as our speaker is very exciting as he really is an aspirational figure in terms of his business achievements. Would-be entrepreneurs should make the most of this fantastic opportunity by booking a free place to attend, and I would urge those who haven't already to book their place now and make the most of Mr Caan's advice."
