The City Business Network kicked off its first meeting of the 2020-21 season as local firms joined us for a virtual event.

The event, entitled Survive, Revive and Thrive, treated the elite of Swansea businesses to exploring the challenges and opportunities the current global crisis means to the business community.

The event, hosted by Sioned Dafydd, hosted guest speakers Danni Watts-Jones of DWJ Wealth Management, Phil Jones of SOFit Outdoors and Nia Godsmark of Peter Lynn & Partners. They shared their expertise and knowledge on how to address these unprecedented times in terms of financial stability, employee mental health and wellbeing, whilst also providing useful hints and tips in navigating your way through the complexities of the legal framework.

Swansea City’s new chief executive Julian Winter held a question and answer session along with discussing how he is settling into the club and the city, while head of commercial Rebecca Edwards-Symmons  shared her knowledge of the industry.

She said: “We are more than just networking, the City Business Network has been specifically created to enhance your brand through our powerful club assets, and we invite you to be part of this journey with us.

"It’s all about the community, our city and our club."
