Olympic sprint star to headline Chorley business event

A former Olympic gold medallist will be the key-note speaker at an annual business event run by Chorley Council.

The annual ‘Choose Chorley’ business event is the town’s biggest business networking evening of the year and offers an opportunity for businesses of all sizes to network, get to know each other and also meet the Council.

“Our priority of attracting new businesses and new jobs to the borough is starting to pay off and I’m delighted we’re able to team up with the Chorley Group, one of the most well-known businesses in the borough, to bring a speaker of Darren’s calibre to Chorley.

The ‘Choose Chorley’ event, compered by North West Tonight’s Dave Guest, will feature a Question Time-style session with leading business figures talking about the latest topics affecting business and Chorley.

The Chorley Group, which was born in Chorley and has since become a £100m turnover business operating Nissan, Fiat, Kia and Hyundai franchises through five dealerships across the North West, is supporting the event with Darren Campbell one of Nissan’s sporting ambassadors.

“We are big ambassadors of the Chorley brand and fly the flag for the town on a national level. We look forward to seeing many other Chorley business people on the night.” The ‘Choose Chorley’ event will be held on Wednesday 18 February at Chorley Town Hall. To book your place visit chorley.gov.uk.
