PWL DIRECTOR CHAIRS BUSINESS FORUM
PWL Director Tim Colman has been asked by Hart District Council to Chair the newly established Hart Business forum. The forum will provide an opportunity for local businesses to exchange views on a range of business issues as well as enabling those companies to engage directly with senior members of the Council.
Tim said “Whilst I am delighted to have been asked to Chair the Forum, the request came as something of a surprise – albeit a pleasant one. We have been talking for some time about creating an environment where local businesses, big and small, can enter into discussions with Council representatives and now that wish has come into reality.”
Tim also Chairs the Economic Prosperity Theme Group which reports to the Hart Local Strategic Partnership.
