“I’m thrilled that Damian Hinds is able to speak at our Networking Event at The Links,” says Sumi Olson, LBI Chairwoman. “These are exceptionally challenging times for SMEs and sole-traders - to have such access to an experienced and active government representative, and other senior business people is a great opportunity for local business owners. Damian is keen to meet and discuss the issues highlighted in our LBI LinkedIn and Facebook Polls.”
