Invest Wirral, Wirral Council’s business support team has appointed local business woman Debbie Edwards as Chair of their Financial and Professional Group.
As Chair of the Group Debbie is demonstrating her commitment to the Invest Wirral Business Forum (www.businesswirral.com ) a free online network for all Wirral businesses, which is operated by Invest Wirral and structured so that business support is delivered to specific cluster groups. The Business Forum plays a key role in strengthening the links between the public and private sectors in Wirral.
Debbie Edwards, who is Group Marketing Director for leading local Law Firm Hillyer McKeown had been working with the Partnership to help develop a new strategy when she was invited to become the new Chair of the Financial and Professional Group.
Speaking of the appointment Debbie Edwards commented:“This is an exciting time to be asked to Chair this influential group. Every company will need to access professional or financial services at some time during their development and so it is crucial that we are seen as the ‘go to’ group who can provide that all important communication between the public and the private sector. I have one key objective – to encourage local procurement of local services and one of the key ways in which we can do this is to raise the profile of all of the great companies on the Wirral – when people are more aware of the wealth of expertise on their doorstep this will have a direct impact on the growth of the local economy.”
