Blue Sky Financial Planning is proud to announce that it will be supporting Dorset Chamber’s Business Festival as a Festival Partner
The Dorset Business Festival – the first event of its kind in the chamber’s 74-year history – is being held from October 10 to 12 at the Hilton Hotel in Bournemouth. Delegates from across the region are expected to attend the three-day celebration, with law firm Lester Aldridge as the Premier Festival Partner. It will include a conference, business expo and the long-awaited return of the Dorset Business Awards.
Dorset Chamber chief executive Ian Girling said: “We are thrilled to welcome Blue Sky Financial Planning as a Festival Partner. It is the first event of its kind in the chamber’s history as a celebration of success and a consideration of the major issues facing businesses today as well as the long-awaited return of the Dorset Business Awards following the Covid pandemic.
“As a longstanding chamber supporter, Blue Sky Financial Planning is the perfect partner for the festival whose enthusiasm for the event matches our own. It promises to be a superb showcase for Dorset and our business community.”
