Shropshire Chamber of Commerce has unveiled a power-packed line-up of speakers for a special event to celebrate International Women’s Day.

Power-packed line-up for International Women’s Day event

The half-day session will be held at the Park House Hotel in Shifnal on March 7, from 10am to 2pm.

Chamber chief executive Ruth Ross will be joined by a top-level panel of speakers who will tackle a broad range of topical issues.

Stacey Morrey of Triangle HR will be discussing her military journey and experiences on gender equality/issues

Voice and communication coach Emma Alston will talk about overcoming anxieties and insecurities to communicate with confidence.

And two senior leaders from Shropshire Fire & Rescue Service – deputy chief fire officer Sam Burton and assistant chief fire officer Karen Gowreesunker – will be sharing their career experiences.

The event, which includes lunch and a mocktail on arrival, will be compered by Shropshire-based presenter and speaker Sian Brennan-Todd.

Kelly Riedel, the Chamber’s events and training manager, said: “Last year’s sold-out event brought together over 100 people for an inspiring and thought-provoking experience.

“This year’s event promises to be equally inspiring, with engaging speakers, dynamic conversations, and opportunities to connect with like-minded people across our community.

“Whether you’re here to learn, share, or simply be inspired, this event is designed to empower and leave a lasting impact.”

Tickets cost £18 for Chamber members or £28 for non-members, and can be booked through the event section of the Chamber’s website, www.shropshire-chamber.co.uk. For more details, or to speak to a member of the team, call 01952 208200.
