Businesses from South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse are invited to a free breakfast to hear talks about issues affecting trade in the two districts.

The event, with hot drinks and pastries, takes place on Wednesday, February 1, between 7.30am and 9.30am at the Cornerstone arts centre in Didcot.

Elaine Ware, cabinet member for economic development at the Vale, said: “The breakfast will give businesses a chance to hear about some of the things that are happening, as well as the opportunity to network with other delegates, which could lead to a number of useful contacts.”

Judith Nimmo-Smith, cabinet member for economic development at South Oxfordshire, said: “We’d like to see as many businesses as possible send representatives along.

“This will be a fantastic opportunity for them to discuss what’s happening in the local area.”

Anyone wishing to book a place should email economic.development@southandvale.gov.uk or call 01235 540475 by Monday.
