About the event
This month's guest speakers on will be Richard Carroll Head of Procurement for DCC and Lead for County Durham Pound Debbie Howe and Jo Long
While the session will provide an introduction to social value and what it means for local businesses, the real focus will be on connection and collaboration. It is an opportunity to understand how the County Durham Pound can facilitate opportunities, build relationships with other local businesses and understand how we can better connect Tier 2, 3 and 4 suppliers into wider supply chains through Partner and Supporter spend.
By bringing buyers, partners and local SMEs together, we want to create stronger local networks, open up new opportunities and help more County Durham businesses benefit from spending taking place within the county and, of course, create those Community Social Value benefits at the same time!
The event will be attended by partners from the County Durham…
