This year’s event took place in April, due to Covid-19 restrictions and was a roaring success, featuring speakers including Kitty Ussher, Chief Economist, Institute of Directors, Cllr Roger Gough, Leader, Kent County Council, Richard Hicks, Director of Place, Deputy Chief Executive, Medway Council with a great take up and feedback from delegates who attended.
Laura Bounds MBE owner of Kent Crisps, Kentish Oils & Condiments and A Little Bit said: ‘The Business Summit is critical from two perspectives: to network with people outside of your sector and to learn from the experts in the industry, we had a great session with an economist to really give us an in depth understanding of where the economy is heading, and that sort of insight is very rare when you’re working at 100 miles an hour every day. It’s fantastic to be back and it’s a great event and I am really delighted to have attended.”
Bal Sander, CEO of Hectic Lifestyles and Kent alum added: “From a networking point of view, events like the Summit are valuable to speak to other businesses.”
