Pete Northover, assistant director in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, will be the guest speaker at the next Bondholder Breakfast event organised by Opportunity Peterborough.

“We’re asking for businesses to review the green paper and tell us how the government can support their sector’s growth and development.
