Local business leaders have the opportunity to discuss the growth opportunities with the Leader of the Council, Cabinet Members and other leading businesses. Please watch our short South Ribble Breakfast Brief video .
Here is a flavour of some of our local events. The Central Lancashire Business Event 2018 took place on Tuesday 2nd October at the Civic Centre in Leyland.
'Never Say Never!' Building Business Resilience and Adapting to Change.
Former British Ski Jumper and Winter Olympian, Michael ‘Eddie’ Edwards shared his story. He is the embodiment of resilience and his amazing personal journey shows how determination and resilience have shaped his career from Olympian to Law Graduate and continue to do so today. His ‘Never say Never’ attitude and compelling story gave local business owners the inspiration to dig deep and continue to strive for their own success. Please see our short video below.
