Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce : BE PART OF OUR HEREFORDSHIRE CONNECTIVITY FORUM

Local businesses are invited to attend a forum to discuss broadband connectivity in Herefordshire on 14 March.

We know this is a priority for the local business community and is why connectivity sits at the heart of our Chamber Manifesto for 2018. Working closely with key partners and local firms, we want to work towards high quality mobile networks and broadband for rural and urban businesses across the region.

The event will take place on the 14 March at Hereford Business Solutions Centre.In this event we will be coming together with the Fastershire, Herefordshire Council's broadband delivery project, to have an open conversation about broadband access for local businesses.

• How businesses can benefit from faster broadband

Exhibition This event will also provide you with the opportunity to connect with the suppliers who have delivered or will be delivering better broadband access across the county, as well as a variety of internet service providers and key connectivity organisations.
