Staffordshire Ambassador Event

This event has now sold out and is closed for registration.

Following the launch of our Staffordshire Story and placemaking identity in 2020, we have launched a series of Ambassador events to showcase exciting projects and success stories from businesses across Staffordshire. With a line-up of inspirational speakers, you’ll hear about the latest developments and businesses that are shaping our great county.

We are delighted to invite you to our October Staffordshire Ambassador Event: A Place of Innovation, in partnership with Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce’s Lets Do Business Expo, held at Uttoxeter Racecourse.

We’ll be shining a spotlight on just a small selection of Staffordshire’s most-cutting edge innovation businesses, manufacturers and inventors to celebrate our county’s renowned heritage as innovators, makers and creators – and learning how we are continuing to forge forward with tech for the 22^nd century.

We’ll be exploring:

• How our long-held innovation and manufacturing heritage in Staffordshire continues today
• Challenge perceptions of parts of our county as ‘post-industrial’ with new technologies and business models that are sold/contracted around the nation and globe!
• How investing in Staffordshire’s next generation is key to not only surviving, but thriving in the innovation/manufacturing/engineering industries
• Innovation and the journey to Net Zero
• How innovative SMEs can scale – the opportunities and challenges
• How ‘made in Staffordshire’ can help put our county on the map

Presentations will be followed by a Q&A with all of the speakers, chaired by Sara Williams, CEO, Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce and Patrons of We Are Staffordshire.

Afterwards, guests can enjoy a trip around the Let’s Do Business Expo to network and make connections with other exhibiting businesses.

Event speakers:

• Louisa Shaw, Place Brand Manager
• Sara Williams, CEO, Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce and Patrons of We Are Staffordshire (COMPERE)
• Martin Smith, Group CEO, HEX Group
• Simon Davis, Founder and CEO, Protect a Pet
