Carl Honore
Carl Honorè has been described by Newsweek as the 'international spokesman for leisure' and by ABC TV News as the 'godfather of the slow movement' for his leadership of a growing global movement of people dedicated to slowing down the pace of our contemporary times and enjoying a fuller, richer life as a result. His books have been translated into more than 30 languages and they have been a lightning rod for public debate about the 'need for speed' and the starting pistol in the race to 'slow down'. His latest book Under Pressure is about how we can rescue children from the excesses of the early 21st century. In a November 2009 cover story, TIME magazine described Under Pressure as the "gospel of the slow-parenting movement."

Andrew Williams
Andrew has been involved in the creation of sports facilities for almost 30 years since graduating in Quantity Surveying (Cost engineering) from the University of Reading, UK. Over that time he has benefitted from a diverse range of experiences; professional, managerial, international and cultural.
His focus, particularly in the latter years, has been the creation of viable business - whilst recognizing that social benefit as well as fiscal performance can be a tangible element of that viability.
Until recently, Andrew was the Managing Director of Franklin + Andrews - a 500 strong cost engineering consultancy which was part of the multinational Mott MacDonald group. In that role he successfully remodeled the business to focus more on the objectives of clients and the services that bring direct benefits to them. He also established their credentials as the UK market leader in their discipline for sports/leisure projects and created the specialist brand of Franklin Sports Business.
The aquisition of Franklin + Andrews by the Mott MacDonald group required Andrew to represent the interests of all 25 owners of the original business as well as ensuring that the financial and contractual evaluations were acceptable to all parties.
Andrew has always continued to take an active role in projects alongside his managerial responsibilities. His experience of management (fiscal and personal), together with his technical expertise, allow him to quickly understand the dynamics of client organizations and to propose solutions for the built form which will support their business objectives.
Together with a colleague, Andrew has now formed Align2. This company provides advice to sports/leisure organizations seeking to optimize their facilities through new building, renovation/refurbishment or operational change. Currently working on a number of projects in France he has established a base in Le Havre, Normandy where he has been responsible for guiding the football club in the realization of a new stadium.
Andrew is a regular speaker at sports property conferences and is treasurer of the World Leisure Organization.
