On Wednesday, June 5th, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse, Bar & Grill in Birmingham will play host to a meeting of industry leaders who will gather to form connections, and discuss the significant influence of sport on society and the economy.
We are delighted to be welcoming former Everton footballer, and Mental Health Ambassador for Causeway, Trevor Steven as our guest speaker. Steven boasts a storied career as a professional footballer, having achieved acclaim with Everton and Marseille, along with earning 36 international caps for England.
