Banbury in Business Summit
“building resilience into Banbury’s economy to
support local people, jobs and businesses”
Friday, 19th March 2010

MP Tony Baldry extends an invitation to join him at the recently opened Spiceball Centre to help set an agenda for building a resilient economy in and around Banbury.
Taking place just one year on from the 2009 Skills Summit, this free, high profile event will track the progress of partnerships, joint working arrangements and initiatives that were put in place at that time, as well as launch Cherwell’s new Sustainable Community Strategy.
The Banbury in Business Summit will also focus on ways in which together we can help to develop a strong base of businesses, jobs and skills, which after all are the foundation of both a strong community and local economy.
With the help of inspirational speakers from a selection of local businesses and useful case studies, the 2010 Banbury in Business Summit will get to the heart of issues that threaten local economic growth, or even long term business survival, and offer ideas and possibly solutions for how you can best achieve business success.
