Lord Peter Ricketts GCMG GCVO
Lord Ricketts was a British diplomat for 40 years. In the final stage of his career, he served as Permanent Under Secretary at the FCO 2006-10, and as Britain’s first National Security Adviser from 2010-12. In that capacity he established the National Security Council, and oversaw the 2010 National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review. He was Ambassador to France 2012-16. Earlier in his public service, Lord Ricketts specialised in security and crisis management issues. He served twice in the UK Delegation to NATO, in the 1970s and again as Permanent Representative from 2003-6. He was Chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee, and Political Director in the Foreign Office from 2001-3, dealing with policy on the Afghanistan and Iraq interventions, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. After retirement, he was appointed a cross-bench member of the House of Lords (=non-political) and divides his time between business activities (including as a Strategic Adviser to Lockheed Martin UK) and public policy work. He is a Visiting Professor in the War Studies Dept of King’s College London, and a Senior Associate Fellow of the Royal United Services Institute. Among his charitable activities, he is Chairman of the Normandy Memorial Trust, charged with building a national memorial in France to all those who fell under British command during the Battle of Normandy in 1944.

Thank you for coming yesterday evening



Thank you for your support yesterday evening in participating and meeting the few people gathered.



Whether it was the political climate or the early September, quite a few sent their apologies, this did not detract from the conviviality and also to make some good contacts with those present.



The quality of the contacts you make is better than the quantity.



It was good to listen to Vince assuring safety and luxury transport to his prestigious clientele, to Douglas who is producing healthy cosmetic products in Europe and selling them in China, to Hassan who is ensuring safety in residential and commercial buildings, to Jean-Pierre designing and producing fashionable outfits for ladies, to Ivan customising salesforce for companies and Beatrice talking about immigration law in UK, it was also lovely that Rosy came to celebrate her birthday in our company and as for me, you can find out more on https://jfdor.org


The Network is your platform to promote your cause, your business, venue and yourself. It  helps your further your business or career and makes meaningful social and business contacts. You get connected, proactive and productive.



It is group of like minded and agreeable people in a relaxed atmosphere. I hope that you enjoyed the evening and that we shall see you again next month when our guest speaker is  Kim Rix, The Gemstone detective.



If you are not yet a member please join us on https://the-network.one, it only costs £40 a year and you gain free entry to all our events except when we need to preorder food and drinks and many other advantages outlined on our website.



I very much look forward to seeing you again soon.



Best wishes,

J-F.
