Business Breakfast with Sir Peter Hendy

BDB is delighted to invite you to a business breakfast with Sir Peter Hendy on infrastructure investment. The discussion will emphasise the importance of demonstrating a clear strategic case for long-term transport investment in the UK’s major city regions, to drive economic growth in all our core cities.

He will highlight the increasingly compelling case for more devolved arrangements to the UK’s core cities such as Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham, to secure the pipeline of infrastructure projects cities – and the UK – need to support economic growth and to cater for growing populations.
