Businesses are being urged to come along to a forum in North Walsham next week.

North Norfolk District Council and North Norfolk Business Forum are inviting local businesses to the 'business magic' event, which takes place at Davenport's Magic Kingdom on Tuesday, March 25.

The aim of the event is to enable business people to explore issues and opportunities which will lead to the development of a skilled workforce, and to encourage them to play a proactive role in the career development of young people in the locality.

Local business leaders, including Mark Pendlington, recently appointed chair of the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership and executive director of Anglian Water, will be talking at the event.

The speakers will be followed by networking opportunities.

The event begins at 4pm and drinks will be available prior to a 4.15pm start.
