Praise for InvestSefton’s business support at popular Economic Forum event
Over 120 business delegates attended the free InvestSefton Economic Forum and Growth Hub Marketplace at The Lake House, Crosby last week.
Not only did they have the opportunity to network at the Growth Hub Marketplace and meet over 20 vendors, but they also had the opportunity to hear from a range of speakers.
