The Thames Valley Berkshire Local Enterprise Partnership and the Berkshire Media Grouphave recently announced the first ‘Collaborating for Growth - Business Show 2012’. The event will be held at the Madejski Stadium on the 18th April 2012.

 

Steve Lamb, Chair of Thames Valley Berkshire Local Enterprise Partnership (TVB LEP) and senior director at Oracle comments: “Thames Valley Berkshire has a thriving economy and has done pretty well. However, we now face intensified global competition from Europe and the fast emerging Asian economies. We need to act now to stay ahead and to do this we need to act in a more integrated and joined up way. TVB LEP will work hard locally, nationally and internationally to keep the businesses we have and attract more. But we need the business community to get involved to help us achieve this. The power behind TVB LEP is the collaborative momentum that we can create together to drive our economy. The 2012 Business Show is all about how we can collaborate for growth and how businesses can get involved.”


High-level speakers for the event include serial entrepreneur Kevin Gaskell. Kevin has led the iconic brands Porsche, Lamborghini and BMW. He also founded epyx, a market leader for automotive e-commerce. As CEO of EurotaxGlass Kevin created a world leader in automotive business intelligence. Kevin has been recognised as a ‘top 40 leader under 40’ and he now acts as Chairman to a number of companies.

 

Jelf will be exhibiting at the show and we would encourage local businesses to find out more about what we think is an exciting opportunity to network and identify opportunities for growth.
