The Federation of Small Businesses realised the importance of the smaller businesses in Shropshire having a voice on the business boards.

Police Commissioner to meet Shropshire Businesses

With this in mind, the Shropshire branch committee have organised regular meetings in different parts of the county so local business owners can meet business board members, ask questions and discuss issues.

The next FSB Think Talk Business Meeting will be held on 10th April in Telford, and is slightly different as Bill Longmore, Police Commissioner for West Mercia has been invited to speak to businesses about his new role. Local business owners will have the opportunity to ask questions and there will be time for general discussion. Ann Johnson (FSB Chairman) will be chairing the meeting and will take up any relevant points with the business boards. (Ann represents small businesses on both Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin Business Boards.)

The meeting is being held at Telford Enterprise Hub, Hadley, Telford, TF1 6QJ, home of Young Britain www.youngbritain.com 'getting Britain's young people into work through self-employment and entrepreneurship'.

The meeting starts at 6.00pm and there will be time for general networking before it finishes at 8.00pm. The event is free to attend and is open to all businesses, not just FSB members. Places are limited and you do need to book - either by Eventbrite http://fsbthinktalkbusiness.eventbrite.com or by contacting the FSB branch secretary Barbara Rainford on 01948 840102 or at bar@strawberryfields.com
