Broomgrove plays host to the Trade and Investment Minister
Lord Green, the newly appointed Trade and Investment Minister, was one of the guests at a dinner and round table discussion hosted by EEF Venues at Broomgrove on Thursday 17th February. Attending the function were senior figures from local business and industry including Professor William Blake Speirs, who was elected Master Cutler in September 2010. Professor Speirs is the chairman of a number of businesses and acts as an ambassador of industry in Sheffield.
Dr Graham Honeyman, Chief Executive of Sheffield Forgemasters International Ltd, and James Newman, Chairman of the Lancashire Evening Post, were also present. The evening was an excellent opportunity for local senior businessmen and entrepreneurs to put their questions to Lord Green about the state of the economy and the future of manufacturing in the area.
“Lord Green is responsible for ensuring the delivery of a cross-Government strategy for trade, and attracting international investment to the UK,” said Richard Morely, Chair of the EEF Regional Council, “so it was really valuable for us to be able to meet with him and raise our questions and concerns. It was also very exciting for us to welcome such prestigious guests to Broomgrove.”
The 18 attendees were well looked after and enjoyed the hospitality and fine food that all EEF venues are noted for. Drinks and canapés were served as the guests arrived, and the discussions continued over a sit down dinner with three delicious choices - roast fillet of beef on celeriac mash, pork fillet steaks braised in red wine or wild mushroom lasagne with parmesan cream.
