Lord Heseltine
FORMER minister for Merseyside Lord Heseltine is to be a guest speaker at Liverpool Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s annual dinner later this year.
Lord Heseltine will share the after-dinner speaking platform with the man at the centre of the boardroom tussle at Anfield. Liverpool Football Club and BA chairman Martin Broughton has previously been announced as the keynote speaker.
As well as having a huge past association with Merseyside, Lord Heseltine has recently been placed in charge of the Coalition Government’s planned £1bn regional growth fund for England. Welcoming Lord Heseltine’s acceptance of the speaking invitation, Chamber chief executive Jack Stopforth said: “We have scooped two of the biggest names who are going to have an impact on the city in the near future.
“Lord Heseltine has a fantastic association with the city going back to Toxteth and the Garden Festival site.”
The dinner takes place on December 2 and marks the Chamber’s 160th anniversary.
