SOLIHULL’S business leaders came together to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the economy. A key focus of the discussion was improving opportunities for young people through greater access to work experience and stronger pathways into employment. Mr Bhatti said: “Local businesses are vital, they create jobs, support families and invest in our communities, so it is essential that their voices are heard. As the voice of business in Solihull, we are committed to supporting organisations of all sizes through networking, business support, skills development and advocacy, ensuring their views help shape the local and national business agenda. Mr Bhatti plans to hold further Business Forum events in the coming months.
