The Hub The Hub What’s on at Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce
The forthcoming Chamber Expo at Amplify at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham city centre will have ‘Connect, Support, Grow’ as its theme. The event, which takes place on 14 October,
will include a major programme, of speakers, who will address each element of the main theme.
Qasim Majid, founder and CEO of Jewellery
Quarter web firm WowZone, will speak about ‘connect’, HS2 supply chain manager Robert Slater will cover ‘grow’, and author, speaker and strategist Moe Nawaz will discuss ‘support’.
‘We have another fantastic event planned this time’
Mr Majid’s address is titled ‘Connect your business to new opportunities through social media’. Wow Zone is a specialist digital agency that
helps businesses leverage and maximise their online presence, using a variety of communication strategies. Following from a successful appearance on
Channel 4’s ‘The Job Interview’ (see last month’s ‘Chamberlink’), Mr Majid will speak on the theme of using the media to raise an individual’s personal profile and also the profile of their business, through traditional methods and social media. Robert Slater will address the audience on
‘Growing your business through HS2’. HS2 Ltd have hosted various roadshow events
across the UK, meeting companies interested in exploring the thousands of supply chain opportunities created by HS2. Mr Slater who will be talking about all the
opportunities available through the project, and will also address the scale and timing of contracts. Opportunities will be created across many business sectors, as the project will require a wide range of capabilities and suppliers of all sizes. Moe Nawaz will speak on the theme of ‘Why some leaders are more successful than others?’
Mr Nawaz is a mentor and strategic advisor to
FTSE 100 companies and is the founder of various non-profit trusts, ‘Feeding Millions’ and ‘The Penny Meal’. The speaker provides support and
encouragement to businesses in the hope of accelerating progress and sustainability, and in addition he delivers real value that always gives back to the community. He said: “One of the main reasons most small
businesses never get to be big businesses is due to the leader not selecting or not knowing how to find the right ‘A’ players to build a team that would allow the business to grow. “I will be sharing simple steps which I use with
my FTSE 100 company leaders to find the best of ‘A’ players who will help you grow your business.” The Autumn Expo, sponsored by Qatar
