A bright and early start and a warm welcome awaits you from the Economic Development team at Blaby District Council at this well attended breakfast network event and regular exchange of topics important to local business people.
Catch the latest showcase of free support, grants and finance, skills and training to benefit local firms direct from the manager of our local growth hub, the Leicester and Leicestershire Business Gateway. Take this ideal opportunity to hear from your local voice in Parliament, Alberto Costa MP, about his economic priorities for business plus you also have an excellent chance to pick up tips from the first Small Business Commissioner, Paul Uppal who is delighted to join our network to share news of measures he is championing for small firms, including payment issues and advice.
Our programme concludes with a question and answer open forum to our guest speaker panel and your golden opportunity to network and develop new local business contacts without missing out on too much of your day.
