Layne Beachley is renowned as a seven-time ASP Women's World Champion Surfer, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and philanthropist.

Layne's early years were plagued by personal hardship , two bouts of chronic fatigue, depression and many injuries however her dedication and determination never wavered. In 1998 she won the first of seven world titles and so becoming the most successful female surfer of all time.

In 2003, she established the Aim for the Stars Foundation with the goal to encourage, motivate and provide for all aspiring women. It has been extraordinarily successful.

In 2006 Layne staged the richest women's stand alone surfing event - the Commonwealth Bank Beachley Classic, now in its seventh consecutive year. Layne is passionate about giving back to the sport that is so much a part of her life, detailed in her 2008 autobiography Beneath the Waves.

Layne is as busy as ever fulfilling media commitments, with motivational speaking, and in representing five other charities and organisations as an ambassador or spokesperson. She recently launched the Layne Beachley B'INSPIRED program, established to encourage children to dare to dream and have the confidence to realise their potential, building confidence and a sense of self-assurance within their first year of high school.

What is a Corporate Luncheon?

Put simply, it is a high profile event entertaining corporate Australia with first class speakers and entertainers, in the most stylish and cost-effective manner.

Held several times each year, these highly successful luncheons provide a wonderful opportunity to thank your clients or staff and to meet people from all facets of the business community, whilst enjoying a fabulous meal and informative and entertaining speakers.

The format of the Corporate Luncheons is simple. Following pre-lunch drinks, the MC will introduce informative and entertaining speakers from Saxton Speakers Bureau's portfolio. These leading speakers will entertain you during a generous and imaginative three-course meal. Enjoy fine wines and the opportunity to meet new people in the finest of surroundings.

Saxton Corporate Lunches regularly boast attendances in excess of 500 and hosts have included some of Australia's most respected media personalities.

Aims of the Luncheons

The aims of the luncheons are to bring together a diverse range of corporate clients in an environment where there are benefits to both business and to Australian youth projects through Scouting Australia. All proceeds from the lunch go to these projects and the programme has created a unique bond between a very worthy, though often overlooked, cause and the corporate world.

The luncheon is an opportunity for top drawer, yet very affordable, corporate entertaining. The very nature of its arrangement means that the lunch attracts a strong and very diverse corporate attendance, encompassing professional conference organisers, event managers and many of the top corporate end-users - all target markets for the partners involved.

The Saxton Corporate Luncheons provide a unique combination of social responsibility, a strong networking environment and many business benefits. We are very proud of the events and the results that have been achieved and we look forward to their ongoing development.
