Organisers of December's Service Dealer Conference have confirmed that Colonel Julian Salusbury (late Welsh Guards) will be presenting an Insight Session for our dealer delegates.

Colonel Salusbury has served as an Army officer for over 27 years. Commissioned in 1999 after a year at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, he has deployed on operations, conducted State Ceremonial and Public Duties in London and delivered training. His operational experience includes tours in Northern Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan and the broader Middle East, with both his Regiment and Coalition forces.

He also commanded the Yorkshire Officers’ Training Regiment from 2018-2021. As a staff officer, he has had roles at Army HQ, the Permanent Joint HQ and in the Ministry of Defence, Whitehall. He has recently completed the Global Strategy Programme at the Royal College of Defence Studies and is now back in the Ministry of Defence, Whitehall.

Service Dealer owner, Duncan Murray-Clarke, said, “Colonel Salusbury’s career speaks for itself. I heard him talk back in the Summer and I know his approach and messages will be so interesting to our dealer audience and compliment what is such a strong speaker line up. We are delighted he is joining us.”

At the Service Dealer Conference Colonel Salusbury will be delivering an Insight Session entitled, The Importance of Character in Leadership.

He will consider how character is built when things are going well, revealed when things go wrong, and strengthened by how we respond. Drawing on his experience across defence, Colonel Salusbury will explore the everyday behaviours that build trust, and how adversity and disappointment can shape us into better leaders.
