CEO Breakfast: A Thought-Provoking Start to the Day!

What a fantastic turnout for our CEO Breakfast at The Commemoration Hall in Huntingdon on Thursday. Invest in Huntingdonshire would like to thank all of those who were in attendance. 

The event was an excellent opportunity for business leaders and industry experts to come together, share insights, and discuss strategies for growth and improvement, the challenges that they face and more. 

There were lots of engaging discussions and it was great to hear insights from Michelle Sacks, Mike Gildersleeves, Clara Kerr and Sam Wakeford.

A huge thank you to our guest speakers Tim Bellamy and Andrew H. from Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority, and Simon Dew from Dews Coaches, for their thought-provoking talks and presentations, and to all the attendees for their engaging discussions. Your participation made the event a great success! 

Invest in Huntingdonshire, the Economic Development team for Huntingdonshire District Council, are excited to build on the ideas and connections forged at this event as we continue to drive forward with our mission to support businesses within Huntingdonshire.
