In 1961 a member of the KGB defected to the West and brought with him sensational information about a “Ring of Five” - Russian spies within British secret intelligence and diplomatic circles. All had been to prestigious schools in England and were never considered possible candidates for betraying their country. Recruited together at Cambridge University in the 1930s
they worked their way into the heart of the Establishment, passing back thousands of documents to the Russian intelligence service as they went. Their unbelievable ascent to top positions was not affected by their frequently bad behaviour (which always went unpunished) but the group eventually unraveled as one after another their identities were discovered.
Taking in a much wider cast of eccentric characters both in Britain and abroad, this entertaining talk will take us through the story from its roots in the English Class System in the 1930s to
Washington DC, Beirut, and other Cold War locations.

Mark Wilkins was born in Hove, Sussex, in 1979 and grew up on the south coast of England. He studied History and Geography at King’s College, London. Following university he trained
as a Chartered Accountant and started learning German at evening classes before realizing he would need to live in Germany to learn it properly. In 2007 he took a year’s sabbatical and enrolled in a language school in Hannover with the intention of returning to the UK once he had mastered the grammar. 16 years later he is still attempting to do so and works for a leading international accounting firm in Düsseldorf besides enjoying music in the Tonhalle and Opera,

BBCD Business Networking Event & Speaker
"ESG, is it just greenwashing?”
Jonathan Wood, CEO & Founder – C2 Cyber Ltd
Thursday 23rd Feb 18:30 to 20:30

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) due diligence is becoming increasingly important for German businesses as it helps them identify and manage risks and opportunities related to their impact on the environment, society, and governance. By conducting ESG due diligence, companies can ensure that they are operating in a sustainable and responsible manner, which can lead to long-term financial benefits. Additionally, as more and more investors and consumers are becoming conscious of the impact of companies on society and the environment, ESG due diligence can help businesses attract and retain customers and investors. In short, ESG due diligence is not only the right thing to do for the planet and society, but it also makes good business sense.
Eliminating waste, duplicate capabilities in the supply chain and internal departments is critical to remain competitive in 2023 and beyond. Stakeholders including staff, customers and the wider public expect ever more maturity from enterprise and the public sector. The trick is; how do we make it fund itself, or even make the business more attractive to investors?!

This event will be hosted at Reception of Heinrich Heine Garten, Hansaallee, 40549, Düsseldorf,

The event will include a members networking event, drinks reception along with an entertaining 45 minute speech by Jonathan Wood

Cost for members is 15 Euros and non members 25 Euros
