The business team at the South Wales Argus will be hosting a networking event next month at the Riverfront in Newport.

Following on from the successful event held to celebrate the launch of The Business magazine, it was decided to make it a regular in the Newport business diary.

At the event, which is being held on Thursday, February 8, there will be a speaker, who is to be confirmed, from the local business community

The event will be an opportunity for informal morning networking and will finish by 9am.

The second edition of The Business has been published and is being distributed over the next week. Inside you'll find interviews with Sanjeev Gupta, of Liberty Steel; Simon Gibson, of Wesley Clover; the Secretary of State for Wales Alun Cairns; and Richard Andrews, of Newport-based architects RA Architects.
