Sefton’s next free, twice-yearly Economic Forum event will take place on Thursday, 12th June at Formby Hall Golf Resort & Spa. 

Open to all Sefton businesses

Organised by the Council’s InvestSefton business support service, Economic Forums are open to all Sefton businesses no matter what their size or sector. They are relaxed and informal events that provide local companies with opportunities to network.

June’s Forum will see economist Christian Spence providing his regular, insightful economic update.

‘Good Growth’ principles

Matchstick Creative’s Ruth Wildhart will be giving a presentation on how SMEs can benefit from ‘Good Growth’ principles. And Joe Keegan from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority will be talking about opportunities for businesses to upskill.

Also, Alan Adams, who is General Manager of the Southport Flower Show will be providing an update on this year’s event and opportunities for businesses.

Expanding Horizons

The event will be chaired by Chris Lewis from Merseyside Expanding Horizons.

June’s event starts with Breakfast & Networking from 8am followed by the Economic Forum, which runs from 9am to 11am.  

Afterwards, delegates can explore the Business Marketplace, which regularly includes over 30, funded, business support providers.
