BUSINESS NETWORKING EVENT, EXHIBITION AND SEMINAR 'THE UK ECONOMY FOR 2008' In Conjunction with: University of Derby and Amber Valley Business Club Partnership seminar gives a positive reflection of vibrant local economy
Photograph Courtesy of DWA Photography More than 130 representatives of local businesses attended an event held by regeneration agency Erewash Partnership looking at the state of the UK economy. The event, held at the Riverside Centre on Pride Park, Derby, (Thurs April 3) was organised in conjunction with the University of Derby under its Enterprising Derbyshire initiative and Amber Valley Business Club. Speakers included Sharan Kainth of Lloyds TSB Business Banking, accountant Kevin Slack, a partner in chartered accountants Mabe Allen and chief executive of Ron Brooks (Toyota) of Ilkeston. There to give specific advice on help for businesses were Maggie Morley, programme development manager of the Centre for Entrepreneurial Management within The Derbyshire Business School at the University, and Derek Hogg, the Partnership’s senior economic development officer. “Speakers gave a summary of the economic situation in general – tough times at present, but the local economy is vibrant and confident,” said Maggie. “This is supported by feedback from a number of businesses that we have surveyed over the last six months showing a significant positive impact with jobs being created or safeguarded. “There was a buzz in the hall. The whole event was very positive with people optimistic about the future and grateful for the opportunity to speak to the business professionals present for their wide-ranging advice.”

The Partnership’s Summer Networking and Business Advice event held on 18th July 2007 at Trent Lock Golf Centre, proved to be a great success with over 100 local business people attending. The purpose of the event was twofold. Firstly, information of use to businesses and other local organisations was available – provided by our sponsors and exhibitors and secondly, the event provided the opportunity for relaxed conversation with people from the local business community, to meet old friends and to make new contacts.
Our next event is taking place on Thursday 27th September at the Arena in Ilkeston between 5.30 and 8.30 pm. Should you wish to attend please email your details to events@erewash-partnership.com and tell us about any special requirements such as diet or access.
