Shropshire business networking group gets ministerial approval
The VIP launch event for Shropshire Business Partnership will be opened by Rt Hon Owen Paterson MP for North Shropshire, with guest speaker Chris Tollady from the department for Business Innovation and Skills. The breakfast meeting is on Friday 11 May at the Greenhous Meadow in Shrewsbury.
The Chair of Shropshire Business Partnership Nick Chavasse MBE said: “We expect 80 members and guests representing the professional and business services sector to attend the meeting and are delighted that Owen Paterson MP will join us, together with many business leaders to officially launch this new networking group.”
“It is only by working together to encourage economic growth and create new opportunities for employment that we can take advantage of the economic up-turn when it arrives” said Mr Chavasse.
Shropshire Business Partnership is an independent networking group, run by its members for its members. The Shropshire Business Partnership is free to join for eligible businesses and welcomes support from Shropshire Council.
Cllr Mike Owen, Cabinet Member for the Economy, said: “Shropshire Business Partnership is exactly the sort of private sector initiative we want to encourage to help support economic growth and to create new employment opportunities within the professional and business services sector. This is important for the continued economic success of Shropshire.”
