Newport City Council’s economic development manager Rob Frowen has been confirmed as the next speaker at the City of Newport Business Club’s first lunchtime event of the 2015/16 season.

Rob, a chartered surveyor by profession with many years experience in both the private sector and public sector, is responsible for overseeing the re-generation of Newport and also the economic development and European funding functions within the council.

He last spoke two years ago to dispel the rumours that nothing ever happens in Newport and discuss the exciting city centre improvement scheme.

He is returning to update everyone on the developments and the plans for the future.

The event, which is open to all business people, takes place at the Holiday Inn, Newport on Tuesday March 17, 2015 at noon.

Tickets to attend the lunch with Rob Frowen cost £25.
