Cllr Chrstine Howard, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Skills said:
“Previous Huddle events organised by InvestSefton have proved popular with businesses in the Borough’s growing Digital, Creative and Tech sector and I am looking forward to attending my first one in my new Cabinet role.
