THE second of the Kenton Lectures will be given by Dame Stephanie Shirley, a lifetime achievement winner at the Henley Standard Business Awards.
Dame Shirley, who lives in Phyllis Court Drive, Henley, has called her talk Give and take — an unusual tale of rags to riches.
She will tell the story of her childhood as an unaccompanied German refugee and her journey to becoming one of England’s most successful businesswomen.
Dame Shirley has formed three charity organisations: the Kingswood Trust, the Priors Court Foundation and the Shirley Foundation.
She has also given away more than £50million, mainly to autism charities. Her talk on December 1 will begin at 8pm and tickets are available from the Kenton Theatre box office in New Street (01491) 575698.
