Southampton: Don’t miss our key event for Solent SMEs

Companies that feature in our Solent SME 100 Growth Index are being invited to a special event in Southampton in September.

Supported by law firm Moore Blatch, business advisers James Cowper Kreston and Santander bank the Solent SME Growth Index lists the top SME companies in the region by turnover growth.

Now fast-growing businesses are being invited to join a select group of companies at a Business Breakfast, with special guest speakers. This will be an opportunity to network with other key companies in the region, and hear from leading opinion formers.

The theme is 'Growing Companies and Southampton's future: the Perfect Match?’ - and organisers hope to stimulate a debate about the growth of Southampton both as a hub and key commercial centre, and explore the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for SME companies.

Southampton’s city vision will bring more than 24,000 new jobs, 5,000 new homes and £3 billion of investment into the city by 2030.

What does that mean for the SMEs and entrepreneurial businesses already in the area? Do they anticipate a bright new dawn?

Staged on Wednesday September 30 at Hilton at the Ageas Bowl, speakers include Dawn Baxendale, chief executive, Southampton City Council, and Dave Lees, managing director, Southampton Airport.

The event is free of charge but places are limited.
