Kent Business School, University of Kent, is holding a free Zoom webinar arranged by the Kent Business Summit team on Friday 26 June 2020 from 12.30pm-1.30pm.
Those attending online will include business owners and managers from across the county for what is the first in a series of webinars focused on supporting Kent and Medway business community in advance of the Kent Business Summit, hosted by Kent Business School annually since January 2018.
Keynotes speakers will include Kent County Council Leader Cllr Roger Gough and Bank of England Agent Phil Eckersley.
During the hour’s online event, participants will hear an overview of the council’s draft roadmap to renewal as we begin to end lockdown, including plans to support business; accelerate business growth and invest in the future. Participants will also hear the latest information about the Bank of England’s current economic forecast.
Professor Marian Garcia, Dean of Kent Business School, said: ‘The information sharing and networking at each Kent Business Summit is valuable to us all in different ways. It is important to extend the collaboration and peer-to-peer support that takes place at each summit, and bring it online to businesses during this extraordinary time.’
Leader of Kent County Council Roger Gough said ‘Covid-19 is both a health emergency – and an economic one. It’s vital we support Kent and Medway businesses of all sizes as our local economy begins to recover and revive. The Kent Business Summit webinar will provide the opportunity to discuss and shape how best we can provide the most effective support to keep Kent open for business and invest for the future.’
The event is a result of collaboration between the University of Kent, Federation of Small Businesses, Institute of Directors and Locate in Kent.
