Staffordshire Ambassador Event

***Registration for this event has now closed***

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.

In our April Staffordshire Ambassador Event, we’ll be shining a spotlight on a small selection of the organisations, charities and individuals who are protecting and conserving Staffordshire’s natural environment as well as celebrating those who work to benefit local communities across the county.

We’ll be exploring:

• How ambitious plans are moving forward for a 25-acre living memorial in Staffordshire
• How Staffordshire businesses, organisations and groups can gain national recognition for their work through the King’s Awards
• How Staffordshire’s wild places, natural landscapes and wildlife are being protected and managed
• How one of the county’s most successful tourist attractions balances their tourism offer with conservation

Presentations will be followed by a Q&A with all of the speakers, chaired by Mark Ellis, Lead, The National Memorial Arboretum.

Event speakers:

• We Are Staffordshire
• Mark Ellis, Lead, National Memorial Arboretum
• His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Staffordshire Mr Ian Dudson, CBE KStJ
• Jeff Sim, Head of Nature Reserves and Species Recovery, Staffordshire Wildlife Trust
• Steve Hopkins and Steve Atkinson, CPRE – The Countryside Charity
