Chamber announces speakers for annual dinner

A LEICESTERSHIRE MP and a radio presenter will be the guest speakers at this years East Midlands Chamber annual dinner in March.

Taking the keynote spot is Justin Webb who currently spends his mornings grilling British politicians and news-makers on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

Before joining Today, Justin was the BBC’s North America Editor - a role in which he covered all the twists and turns of the 2008 Presidential election which saw Barack Obama voted into the Whitehouse.

He maintains an interest in activity “over the pond” and is described as a wonderfully engaging speaker on everything from Brexit to President Donald Trump.

Also speaking will be the Nicky Morgan, MP for Loughborough and chairman of the Treasury Select Committee.

Previously serving in the Department for Education and as Minister for Women and Equalities, she has also been an Assistant Whip.

By trade Mrs Morgan is a mergers and acquisitions lawyer and worked in three major City of London firms before being elected as a Conservative MP in 2010.

More than 600 guests are expected at the dinner which offers both an entertaining evening and a unique opportunity to network.

The event takes place at the Roundhouse in Derby on March 22 starting with a welcome drinks reception at 6.30pm.
