East Midlands Chamber Chief Executive Scott Knowles said: “I very much look forward to supporting Leicester Business Festival once again.  Our partnership is long-standing and year after year the festival has given us the opportunity to champion the economic vitality of Leicestershire.  The festival is an effective platform to share knowledge, ideas and for businesses to learn from each other and network.

“East Midlands Chamber is a leading advocate of the business community across Leicestershire so it’s always beneficial being able to engage with many businesses of different sizes and industries at the festival. The timing couldn’t be better this year, as the Chamber’s Leicestershire Business Awards take place on 8th November when the limelight will be on the outstanding achievements of the county’s businesses.”
