Town’s businesses get set for Made in Chesterfield Week
Eight businesses within the town’s manufacturing and engineering sector are being invited to get involved in Destination Chesterfield’s November Round Table event held in conjunction with the Derbyshire Times.
The monthly Round Table discussion is just one of a number of free business events taking place from 10 – 14 November as part of Made in Chesterfield Week which will celebrate the town’s successful manufacturing and engineering sector.
The first of the events begins with the unveiling of a sculpture, celebrating the town’s manufacturing heritage, at Chesterfield Coach Station. Other free events include an interactive session to celebrate National Export Week, organised by UKTI and the Manufacturing Advisory Service. It will provide advice on exporting and case studies from local businesses that are exporting around the world. More details are below.
The first ever Made in Chesterfield week has been coordinated by Destination Chesterfield in partnership with Natwest, United Cast Bar, Chesterfield College, Derbyshire Education Business Partnership, Positive 4 Young People, Placing Futures, Derbyshire County Council, and Chesterfield Borough Council.
