BUSINESS OWNERS in Northampton will have the chance to hear direct from Sir Alan Sugar’s right-hand man during a networking session designed to bring town centre companies closer together.
The BID Business Networking session takes place at Vulcan Works from 5pm on Thursday, 22 February, with guest speaker Nick Hewer from BBC’s The Apprentice.
The event, organised by Northampton Town Centre Business Improvement District, is aimed at companies operating in the professional services sector.
Mark Mullen (pictured left), operations manager of Northampton Town Centre BID, said: “As the voice of town centre businesses, we wanted to provide a platform to allow businesses to get together, meet each other and establish closer working relationships that will ultimately benefit the whole town.”
BID Business Networking is an informal session that gives people the chance to meet other local businesses and hear from a range of guest speakers, Mr Mullen added.
The guest speaker at the inaugural meeting is Nick Hewer, who featured alongside Sir Alan in the BBC series The Apprentice and as host of the Channel 4 show Countdown.
Tickets for the event are free and are strictly limited to two per business. Priority will be given to BID levy-paying businesses operating in the professional services sector.
Mr Hewer said: “Working in business has been a huge part of my life and I cannot wait to share my experiences of life in Sir Alan Sugar’s boardroom and with businesses right here in Northampton.”
