Experts agree that if town centres are to survive they need to offer more than just retail. That means identifying new investment opportunities that can shape and re-energise the High Street.

Our role over the next five years is to promote Southport town centre as a location for new investment. We’ve arranged an event on 8th February to look at the opportunities for Southport and what we can all do, working together, to help create a positive and welcoming environment for new and existing investors.

This free event is aimed at local influencers, shapers, stakeholder, property agents, landlords, the professional and commercial sectors: indeed, anyone with an interest in making our town a more prosperous place to live and work.

Our key speakers and topics are:

Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor

Caroline Baker, Cushman & Wakefield

Sarah Kemp, Executive Director, Sefton Council

Catherine Mitton, Executive Director, The BID Foundation

Bliss Investments: A case study

Q & A

We will also be interested in hearing your responses and ideas you have for our town.

Whilst places are free, they are also limited therefore we ask that you register for this event beforehand.

Venue: The Ramada/Bliss Hotel
Time: 10am – 12.30pm

Email us or telephone 01704 538382 to book your place(s).

The meeting will be preceeded by Invest Sefton’s Financial and Professional Service Forum at 9am.  Key speakers will include:
