DIB Group Chair Frank McKenna was joined on the panel by the Managing Director of Muse Phil Mayall and the Chief Executive of Capital & Centric Tim Heatley, whilst the Cheshire West and Chester Council Director of Economy and Housing Gemma Davies also contributed to a lively debate and discussion about the future prospects of the area. The first Downtown in Business Chester event attracted over 60 business leaders from across the city, Cheshire, and North Wales.
