MKM Warrington is continuing its sponsorship of TEDxWarrington for the second time, as the event returns on 16th November with the theme ‘Tackling Adversity’.
David Harari, Branch Director of MKM Warrington commented: “It’s a pleasure to be able to sponsor TEDxWarrington as it returns for a second year. Last year’s TEDx was hailed as one of the best events the town has seen, sharing ideas across technology, entertainment, design, science, humanities, and business. It sparked lively debate and inspired the open-minded, curious people of Warrington to rethink, change their lives and see how they can have a wider impact on the world.
“This year’s theme is ‘tackling adversity through embracing change by sharing fresh ideas that reflect diversity, innovative spirit and strength of character’. I like to think that MKM’s diverse and innovative approach to doing business is carried positively through the Warrington branch; having the ability to do things differently allows us the space to try new things without fearing failure, it fosters ideas from all areas of the team and means we can react quickly when there’s a need to change. This encourages team members to grow and develop themselves personally and not just their careers. I’m certain it will be another incredibly inspiring event and I’m looking forward to finding out the speaker line-up in the coming weeks – I’ve no doubt it will be excellent calibre!”
Beyond its core business, MKM Warrington actively supports various community initiatives and causes in the Warrington area. The MKM Warrington team has played a pivotal role in supporting community events like Warrington Oktoberfest, where branch staff have volunteered behind the bar. With strong ties to the Rotary Club, the branch actively collaborates with local businesses, sponsors sports teams, and strives to create a supportive community environment. The recent recognition of Co-Branch Director David Harari, with the ‘Paul Harris Fellowship’ by the Warrington Rotary Club underscores MKM Warrington’s commitment to going above and beyond in supporting and enriching the local community.
Kirsty James, TEDxWarrington Licensee and Organiser added: “I am delighted to be welcoming back MKM Warrington as an official TEDxWarrington Sponsor. Their support for two consecutive years is invaluable in terms of staging such as high profile, yet non-commercial event in the town which relies on funding from local businesses and organisations.
Their backing also represents a vote of confidence in the 2022 event and in my team, who work voluntarily and exceptionally hard to stage this event. Building strong partnerships with local sponsors is critical; they’re not just event funders but partners with whom we share common values. In the case of MKM, this is evident in David’s commitment to his team as well as to the wider community via his strong leadership and visible investment in personal development and growth. An appropriate match with the values TEDx which promotes innovation, thought-leadership and learning to foster community spirit and impact positive behavioural change.”
TEDx talks can be based on absolutely anything but must be based on an idea that might be new, surprising or challenging existing beliefs/perspectives.
TEDxWarrington has already sold out, and will be held at 3300 Daresbury Park, Halton, Warrington, WA4 4HS on 16th November.
