Leisure Pass Group joins up for New China Tourism Campaign

Primary were delighted to welcome renowned futurist Ray Hammond to our annual Chief Executives’ Conference at Cliveden House in Berkshire recently. Ray gave a pre-dinner presentation to portfolio company CEOs and Chairmen and members of Primary’s Limited Partner Advisory Board. The antique splendour of Cliveden, with its very distinctive history and reputation, provided an incongruous setting for an insightful and revealing discussion about such diverse topics as Artificial Intelligence and the Technological Singularity and the impact such areas will have on many aspects of both business life and life in general.
