Local businesses are being invited to join the Cannock Chase Chamber of Commerce for their annual AGM and Networking Lunch next month to discuss what the future looks like for the region's businesses.

The event will be held on 11 November at the Roman Way Hotel in Cannock Chase from 11:30am.

Businesses will join Cannock Chase Chamber president Gill Durkin (pictured) to discuss the highlights of her presidency during the past 12 months.

Chris Plant, director of the Cannock Chamber, said: “The AGM is the perfect chance to come together with our committee and members and discuss ways that we can level up our districts business presence. We have ambitious plans for the future of the Chamber and are very much looking forward to coming together and seeing how we can all work together to achieve our goals. ”

From 12pm - 2pm will also be a networking opportunity with guest speaker, Councillor Olivia Lyons, leader of Cannock Chase Council.

Also in the order of events will be a report on the past year's activities and confirmation of the current Chamber executive committee members.

Councillor Lyons said: "We have a unique opportunity after this pandemic to build an ambitious future for our District, not only to survive the coming months and years but to actually thrive. I hope to oversee a collective effort from the whole Council to achieve this aim.

"We will put centre stage a commitment to support our economy and especially small businesses, to actively respond to climate change, and to improve our parks and the local environment we have all cherished during these lockdown periods. ”

Members and non-members are invited to the event.
