Question time at 7am!



I am a huge fan of Question Time and yesterday morning I was up bright and early to be on the panel of the Merseyside Economic Forum for The North West Business Insider.

The event created a platform for discussion on key regional issues: Regeneration, governance, transport, finance and commercial property.

My fellow panellists included:

- Lesley Chalmers, chief executive, English Cities Fund
- Dave Moorcroft, director of economic development, The Mersey Partnership
- Matt Johnson, managing director, Mando Group
- Vici Ladeji, director, Eventa Management

We debated topics including:

Branding: "Merseyside" v "Liverpool City Region"
Business support - Is there enough? Is it the right kind etc?
Attracting business to Liverpool - which industries and how to attract corporate HQs

A early start but a good way to start the day discussing issues that matter to Liverpool.
