Following the phenomenal success of February’s Women Mean Business event, the North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, in association with event partner Code Galaxy, is thrilled to unveil the next instalment of one of the region’s most empowering and inspiring business gatherings.
On Friday 27th June, the spotlight will once again fall on some of the county’s most influential and inspiring women, as the Chamber hosts another powerhouse event at the newly refurbished Park Hall Hotel & Spa.
Attendees will enjoy a two-course lunch, first-class networking opportunities, and the chance to hear from an exceptional speaker line-up — including two trailblazers at the top of their game.
Dame Sue Ion is a globally respected expert in nuclear fuel and energy innovation, Dame Sue has played a critical role in shaping the UK’s nuclear future.
