Two celebrities have agreed to be guest speakers at one of Birmingham's most prestigious business networking opportunity events of the year.
Celebrity chef Aldo Zilli and actress Shirley Anne Field will both speak at the Business Influence Luncheon on Friday at the Burlington Hotel in New Street.
This year's theme is Food, Glorious Food and visitors to the event will be invited to browse through market stalls packed with food and drink from around the world.
Greeted with a drinks reception, the guests will also be invited to stay for a lunch followed by the speeches, a prize draw and a book signing.
Ruth Armstrong, chair of Business Influence and partner at HBJ Gateley Wareing solicitors, said: "The Business Influence luncheon is a major opportunity for local businesses to network at an enjoyable event.
"This year, we wanted to pay tribute to the fact that Birmingham is a centre of culinary excellence, with first class restaurants, exotic cuisine from all over the world and excellent farmers markets."
