“This festival presents an incredible opportunity to showcase the amazing business community we have here in Shropshire and celebrate our vibrant network. An occasion to connect and network, the Shropshire Business Festival is a showcase of the diverse talent and innovation within our community.

“I would like to express my gratitude to Beth Heath and her fabulous team at Shropshire Festivals for their collaboration.”

Beth, Creative Director at Shropshire Festivals, added: “The addition of the B4 event should be attractive to local business leaders, with an exclusive, one-off opportunity to harness the power of the B4 platinum network and make connections with like-minded business leaders from across the county."
