Debbie McAndrew said: “I'm delighted to be speaking at the Staffordshire Business Festival. Business people are great innovators, and it's important to have a continuous flow of dialogue between the creative and business sectors. We have lots to share and learn from each other.”
Sara Williams, chambers chief executive, said: “Our inaugural 2016 festival was a truly exciting time for the team and we are delighted to be hosting our second festival this year.
