Mersey Maritime’s monthly business network ‘Face-2-Face’ continues to grow from strength to strength with the organizers expecting a sell out at their forthcoming November 4 event thanks to a famous guest presenter.
Record-breaking former English Rugby International and RAF jet pilot Rory Underwood, who has been awarded an MBE for services to rugby, now runs a business performance consultancy, Wingman. He has been working with Mersey Maritime over the past 12 months to provide workshops for small to medium sized (SME) businesses in the maritime sector who are signed up to Mersey Maritime’s Sector Development Program, an initiative supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
“Our membership has been rising month on month as businesses realise the benefits of being part of our cluster,” said Chris Shirling-Rooke, Director at Mersey Maritime. “We are now offering more events than ever before; from business network sessions, industry-focused presentations and surgeries, to forums with partners on subjects as diverse as skills and Arctic warming and chairman’s dinners. Since cutting our teeth on organizing a spectacular gala dinner as part of the Maritime Logistics & Energy (MLE) program at this year International Festival for Business, we have also added regular social events to our program.”
The Face-2-Face event takes place at the offices of Mersey Maritime in Birkenhead from 07.45am to 09.00am on Tuesday, November 4.
The event is regularly oversubscribed so maritime sector business people wishing to attend are advised to reserve a place by contacting Mersey Maritime.
