Thank you to Bristol Business Network member Fiona Hallworth who has brought this to my attention.

Fiona is a committee member with IoD and they have put together what can only be described as very significant

MShed on  Tuesday February 26th 6.00-8.30

The IoD did a survey in the summer of 2012 and the one big topic everyone wanted to discuss to make their businesses more effective was transport
An event to create discussion about what would help business in the region and what are the headaches and the vision of all the people on the panel

• Don’t expect answers to congestion at your nearest junction
• Do expect high level intellectual debate that will influence business strategic planning over the next 3-10 years.

– it will be quite an interactive session for those attending with lots of time for Q&A

The Panel is:

• Norman Baker, Under Secretary of State for Transport
• George Ferguson, Mayor of Bristol
• Simon Bird, CEO, Bristol Port Authority
• Robert Sinclair, CEO, Bristol Airport
• Justin Davies, Regional MD, First Bus
• Alan Bailey, Chair, Low Carbon South West
• Prof Jon Shaw, Prof of Transport Studies, Plymouth University

Chaired by Dave Harvey BBC and there will be a feature on Points West… a film with some live inserts

I don’t think they have all been in the same room at once before!
