Also speaking will be East Lancashire Sherpa Guide Chris Ball of Forward Thinking.
Looking ahead to the event, Chris said:
“We’re so excited to be involved with the Chamber, as everything they do aligns perfectly with our core values. Just like preparing the perfect curry, business success is about balancing flavours with no aji-bhaji. At Forward Thinking, we’re not just cooking up ideas; we’re stirring up a recipe for success where every ingredient counts.”
MD of Forward Thinking Andy Henderson is delighted to get the deal over the line.
“There were a couple of weeks of intense negotiations – we even had to sign a naan-disclosure agreement! I’ve been a fan of Curry Club for years, so to now secure the headline sponsorship really is the mango on top of the popadom!”
Events Manager at East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce Debbi Dawson added
“We’re absolutely over the moon to be working with Forward Thinking to continue to grow and evolve East Lancashire’s Curry Club. We know the Forward Thinking team really well and have already begun throwing round ideas for how we can bring even more spice to the event.”
The next Curry Club with Forward Thinking will take place from 12.00 PM till 2.30 PM on Friday 8th March 2024 at Burnley FC. Tickets can be booked online here. Attendance for most Chamber members is £30+VAT and non-members can attend for £60+VAT.
