Woking Borough Council is holding its bi-annual breakfast briefing on Wednesday 9 October 2013, from 8am to 9.30am, at the H.G. Wells Conference and Events Centre, to enable members of the business community to hear what the Council is doing to support the local economy.

The event is part of local authorities' statutory requirement to consult local business rate payers on its proposals for expenditure for the forthcoming financial year. In addition, topics for discussion will include delivering Woking's vision and building a better Borough.

Speakers will include the Leader of the Council, Cllr John Kingsbury, as well as members of the Corporate Management Group, including Chief Executive Ray Morgan, Deputy Chief Executive Douglas Spinks, and we are delighted to announce our guest speaker for this year will be Karen Gravestock, Head of Human Resources at WWF-UK who will reveal all about WWF's journey to relocate their head office and why the future in Woking is looking so bright.

The Council has an important role in providing a strategic and political lead in encouraging business development growth and inward investment, and creating jobs. All business rate payers are encouraged to attend the consultation, and add their views to how the Council can stimulate the local economy and create wealth and opportunities that the whole community can share.
