@EastMidlandsCRC@BusinessPD@essentialnm@destination_www It was great to see representatives of 43 Peak District businesses coming together at last night's #BusinessPeakDistrict networking event to hear excellent presentations from Rob Barlow of TDP and Clive Waddington of Archaeological Research Services
The guest speaker was Dr Peter Dewhurst (@peterddewhurst, pictured right), Chair of @BusinessPD and @PDPrtnship, and board member of @ChesterfieldAC. Peter spoke of the challenges that #PeakDistrict businesses face, and how Business Peak District can help.
