From mastering influence to redefining modern fashion, two boundary-pushing entrepreneurs – David JP Phillips and Tommy Fordham – are the latest names to join the unrivalled speaker line-up at BusinessMania 2025, the UK’s most exciting new business event created by Big Business Entrepreneurs (BBE).

Taking place across four electrifying days from 6–9 November 2025 at IBIS London Earls Court, Business Mania is where 600+ entrepreneurs come together for The Ultimate Business Showdown – a fast-paced mix of real-world strategies, mindset breakthroughs, and big-name inspiration. Unlike traditional business summits, Business Mania is built around action, helping founders and self-starters turn ideas into income with hands-on advice from those who’ve done it.

David JP Phillips, a global authority on storytelling, public speaking and behavioural communication, will fly in from Sweden to deliver his high- energy keynote. Known for his TEDx talks and neuroscience-backed techniques, he’ll teach founders how to speak with influence, lead with confidence, and win through clarity, both in business and beyond.

Joining him is Tommy Fordham (Mallet), the rising fashion entrepreneur behind premium footwear label CTRNE, and formerly of Mallet London and The Only Way Is Essex. With a direct-to-consumer brand built on authenticity, culture and craftsmanship, Fordham brings hard-earned lessons on building bold brands from scratch, and doing it with style.

“David and Tommy bring firepower and focus to our line-up this year,” said Adam Stott, founder of BBE and creator of BusinessMania. “One transforms how people communicate; the other is changing how people build brands. This is where legends rise – and both of them are living proof of that.”

Designed for founders, creators, and business owners who are ready to take action, Business Mania offers hands-on coaching, expert-led workshops and breakthrough strategies in branding, sales, mindset, visibility and growth. Each day features different speakers and themes, with no fluff or filler – just results-driven insight from those who’ve done it themselves.

Across four electrifying days, attendees will access expert-led sessions on branding, marketing, sales, digital growth, and business resilience. Each day will have a specific theme, including LeadsMania. SalesMania. BrandMania and ProfitMania. The event will feature live coaching from the BBE team, including founder Adam Stott.

BusinessMania will showcase a hand-picked selection from an unrivalled line-up of celebrity founders, business icons, and high-profile entrepreneurs. Special guests will appear across the four-day programme, with speaker reveals dropping one by one in the lead-up to the event.

“BusinessMania is where legends rise,” said Adam Stott, business coach and founder of Big Business Entrepreneurs. “We created it to give people more than just inspiration – we’re handing them the mindset, strategy and support to actually grow. Whether you’re launching your first business or scaling your tenth, this is for you.”
