Businesses in North Wales will have the opportunity to hear from the Rt Hon Stephen Crabb MP, Secretary of State for Wales, at a North Wales Institute of Directors (IoD) event on Monday 9th November.

Mr Crabb, the Preseli Pembrokeshire MP who became Secretary of State for Wales in 2014, will speak about the significance of the Northern Powerhouse for North Wales and how the business community can work with partners in central and local government to generate economic growth in North Wales.

North Wales IoD chair Helen Watson said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Stephen Crabb to speak at one of our events.

“He plays an important role in the growth and success of businesses and business policy in the region, and this is a wonderful opportunity to hear directly from him.

“I urge all organisations who are interested in attending to book as soon as possible as demand for tickets is likely to be high.”
