Businesses are to attend an event organised by Lichfield and Tamworth Chamber which will offer procurement opportunities with the Ministry of Defence.

The business luncheon on September 30 at The Old School House Restaurant in Weeford, Lichfield, is to hear from Lieutenant Colonel Ian Harper, Ministry of Defence Medical Services about the former Whittington Barracks change of use to new headquarters for his division.  

Sponsored by Tamworth-based Past Limited, the lunch will be preceded by the Chamber's Annual General Meeting and will also provide an opportunity for businesses to network.

Marilyn Castree, Divisional Director, said: "We are very excited we have been able to put this event together and are keen to encourage as many business people as possible to attend. There are only limited places available and therefore we would encourage people to book as soon as possible."  

Lichfield and Tamworth Chamber President Neil Lancaster, of Adams Moore Accountants, will outline the major activities that have taken place over the last twelve months. He said: "Our merger with Birmingham Chamber Group has provided our members with major benefits and huge opportunities as part of the third largest Chamber in the U.K. - but with the emphasise of still working and supporting local businesses within the area."
