InvestSefton is inviting local Digital, Creative & Tech (DCT) businesses to attend the next, free Sefton Huddle between 12noon and 2pm on Wednesday 8th July, at Eastbank in Southport.

Thriving networking event

Sefton Huddle is a thriving networking event designed to bring together innovators, entrepreneurs and professionals from across the borough. It has quickly grown into a key fixture for the local DCT community, regularly attracting around 40 businesses at each session.

July’s event will provide a relaxed and welcoming environment for businesses to make valuable connections, share ideas, and explore opportunities to collaborate. A highlight of this session will be a guest presentation from Gather LCR, which is part of the Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor’s Business Growth Package.

Fully funded support

Gather will introduce their upcoming programme of fully funded support for digital, creative and tech businesses and opportunities for organisations looking to grow and innovate.

Attendees will also benefit from a complimentary light lunch and refreshments.

Bringing together the borough’s dynamic DCT community

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Skills, Economy and Regeneration said: “We are keen to continue the growth of the Sefton Huddle network, which is bringing together the borough’s dynamic Digital, Creative & Tech community.

“If you are in the sector and are coming to the Huddle, share the invitation with other Sefton-based DCT businesses who you think may benefit from attending.”
