Kelly Riedel, the chamber’s events manager, said: “We are determined to do everything we can at this time to help make businesses as resilient as possible through the current cost of living crisis.

“This free event, from 9am to 11am, will be a showcase of the support which is currently available to help companies reduce their energy costs.

“We are pulling together a group of expert speakers and exhibitors, who will cover a wide range of topics.
