Sunderland AFC boss Tony Mowbray joined the Foundation of Light's latest Business Breakfast at the Beacon of Light, hosted in partnership with Aspire Technology Solutions.
Scores of local business people got to see the Black Cats chief take to the stage with BBC's Jeff Brown as he spoke about his experiences as a football manager.
He spoke candidly about the challenges he's faced working with different players and he was very passionate about his hopes for the club.
The Business Breakfasts are a regular fixture in the Foundation of Light events calendar and give the opportunity to bring together like-minded local organisations to meet with the Foundation’s extensive partner network.
