February may be the shortest month, but we certainly packed a lot in! This included attending Wrexham University Leadership conference, Cwmpas Business Succession event, a conference on the Gwynedd Visitor Economy, Working Denbighshire jobs fair in Rhyl and a packed event in Wrexham outlining the university’s vision for 2030 which includes working with local businesses. We also managed to meet with Bangor Aberconwy MP, Claire Hughes and ran our FSB networking events. More to come in March!
