Shropshire Chamber of Commerce’s spring expo delivered some inspirational business messages – and welcomed several new faces.
The University of Birmingham was promoting its support for advanced manufacturing technologies.
The event, held in The West Stand at AFC Telford United, was an opportunity to network and connect with exhibitors including professional services, education and training, telecoms, motoring, media, and more.
Joe Lockley, of Bright Star Boxing in Shifnal which uses boxing to empower vulnerable people, was guest speaker at the breakfast meeting which kicked off the day.
He delivered an inspirational presentation about how he has channelled many issues from his own childhood into the growing not-for-profit business, supporting people who have fallen out of mainstream education.
