RICHMOND, VA-- John Whitworth has extensive domestic and global experience in Finance and General Management in both the USA and Europe. Over the course of his 30+ year career, he has developed and implemented financial and business initiatives in start-up, new acquisitions, closures and stable environments in many OEM and wholesale distribution markets. Recently, as a Senior Finance Director in a $3B world-wide US division of Invensys PLC, John was responsible for reinvigorating the finance function, and he led the company's many pricing initiatives.
 
Today, John is spearheading Beckett's new Pricing Discipline practice-Precision Pricing.
 
The purpose of this intimate luncheon is to provide Pricing Discipline information for CFOs and other senior managers of local manufacturing firms. The Precision Pricing Study investigates in-house pricing procedures to help companies proactively manage their approach to pricing, to reflect the different values that customers place on a company's products. The program is designed to improve overall prices by a minimum of 1% which will typically increase Operating Profits by at least 8.6% (each and every year), with an even greater improvement in annual cash-flow.
 
Seating for the luncheon is limited, tickets are $49 per person and reservations are required.
 
For further details or to reserve your seat, please contact Peter Belanger at Beckett Advisors in Los Angeles at (800) 336-8797 between 10:30 AM and 7:00 PM EST.
