CEO Supper Clubs put hot topics in the table in Sheffield

Investec Wealth & Investment and Sheffield Chamber of Commerce and Industry are collaborating to bring together business and political leaders to discuss the region’s hottest topics in a series of ‘CEO Supper Clubs’.

The forums have sparked discussions between CEO and local political leaders looking at key themes relevant to Sheffield and the South Yorkshire, to help inform policy and spur innovation.

Manufacturing, culture and visitor economy, digital, and sustainability have been discussed far.

Each event, with an aim to support local business, has been hosted at an independent venue across the city. These have included the Adelphi Room at Sheffield Theatres, Lavang, Cubana, and The Sheffield Table at Leah’s Yard.

Events have been attended by Kate Josephs, Chief Executive at Sheffield City Council, and Oliver Coppard, Mayor of South Yorkshire, along with a relevant sector leads from their offices.

Jason Hallam, Senior Investment Director at Investec Wealth & Investment UK, said: “As a firm deeply rooted in Sheffield, we continue to look outwards to support key issues affecting our region. That heritage, which started in 1844, is now complemented with industry-leading research capabilities and state-of-the-art technology.

“Being able to host these events, in partnership with the Chamber, and have crucial discussion with local leaders, those from businesses, and from the Council and SYMCA, has been so valuable.”

Louisa Harrison-Walker, Chief Executive of Sheffield Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said: “We know that Sheffield works best when we work together and, Investec, through its continued commitment to the city, alongside its Chamber patronage, has supported the region for a long time.

“Being able to collaborate on the CEO Supper Clubs has been excellent. The work is so important for us as a Chamber, as we continually aim to bring the right people together to lobby and make an impact for change.

“Our work, together with Investec, will aid our members and the wider region. Ultimately, we want Sheffield to be recognised as both an innovator, and the best place to start, grow and run a successful business.”
