MP to talk Buisness with Leaders

Local business leaders are joining new Wyre Forest MP Mark Garnier at a Wyre Forest Business Leaders meeting this Friday (11th June). The meeting will be the first Business Leaders meeting to be chaired by Mark Garnier at Stourport Manor Hotel, Hartlebury Road, Stourport-on-Severn.

The event is aimed at strategic decision makers in local businesses and has been organised by Wyre Forest District Council who will be sharing the latest developments on the Kidderminster ReWyre initiative.  Leading figures from both the District and County Councils will attend the meeting which will provide an opportunity for business leaders to air their views and ask questions.

Mark Garnier MP said,

“I have always been struck by the unique mix of opportunities and challenges facing Wyre Forest District. Everyone is aware of the national and international economic climate, but amongst the pessimism there are some great ideas and opportunities emerging as local people start to innovate and consider the future. The Kidderminster ReWyre Initiative is a classic example of this thinking and I look forward to hearing more about this initiative and the level of business engagement at the meeting on Friday.

“In my early meetings with the District Council I have discovered a genuine enthusiasm to engage businesses. It is clear that we are collectively open to new ideas and would like to see how we can all work together to ensure that Wyre Forest is open for business and investment during these critical times.”

The District Council’s Cabinet Member for Planning and Regeneration, Councillor Stephen Clee said,

“It is clear that the organisations that put themselves on the map and present a positive and achievable vision of the future will be well placed to attract investment. We are looking to work with businesses to get that recipe right. This is a great opportunity and potential forum for our business leaders to air their views to the local MP and local authorities.”
