AJ Bell has signed up former England cricketing star Freddie Flintoff to speak at its first Investment Conference which is now fully booked.
Mr Flintoff, who appears regularly on TV and is looking to develop a career as a professional boxer, will join a number of well known speakers at the event including the FCA's Rory Percival.
The Manchester-based Sipp and platform provider has closed registrations to its inaugural annual investment conference, due to reaching full capacity with 275 advisers registered to attend the event. The conference will be held at London's Millbank Tower on 14 November 2013.
The company says that the event, hosted by BBC presenter Nina Warhurst, will hear from many of the UK's leading fund managers and industry experts, speaking on a wide range of platform and investment related issues.
In addition, the FCA's technical specialist, Rory Percival, will hold a Q&A session, and AJ Bell's CEO, Andy Bell, will open and close the day with his thoughts.
