What a week for us!💨 We already shared our busy Monday covering three parts of the County, firstly a tour of the stunning Peterborough Cathedral, then heading to our Cambs Business Forum at Welch's Transport Ltd, and finally Ely Networking at Poets House Hotel and Restaurant in collaboration with Ely Cathedral Business Group👏 Tuesday saw our monthly Stamford Networking continue, this time at the fan-favourite The Crown. Another full room of local businesses building connections and showing us our Stamford community is thriving👏 Charlotte Horobin got together with CEOs across the Chamber network on Wednesday with British Chambers of Commerce to discuss key topics such as improving skills and tackling labour shortages. They heard from Gillian Keegan, Secretary of State for Education, who outlined the work her department is doing to improve access to skills and discussed the role of business in developing workforces of the future👏 Thursday was another busy day, starting with our joint event with Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) at Delta Hotels by Marriott in Huntingdon.
