Delegates heading to the leading Kent B2B Medway event next month will get the chance to hear the latest on the Lower Thames Crossing.

In a special event taking place just before the main event's doors open on Thursday, September 20, a business breakfast, sponsored by chartered surveyors Caxtons, will take place between 7.15am and 8.30am.

Not only will it allow for some early morning networking and a bite to eat, it will act as a precursor to the main business event which runs from 8.30am to 4pm at the Historic Dockyard Chatham.

The breakfast event will take place in the Mess Deck and will include a welcome from Jo James, chief executive of the Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce.

Guest speaker will be Highways England's Tim Jones - project director of the £6billion Lower Thames Crossing.

Prior to working for Highways England, Mr Jones was chief executive of Connect Plus, the company responsible for the £6bn contract for the M25 network.

Spaces are limited for the breakfast event and tickets must be booked in advance. They cost £9.95 plus VAT.

Also during the day at the Kent B2B Medway expo, there will be headline talks from England rugby star Rachael Burford and commercial director at AC Goatham & Son, Carol Ford. Danny Windsor and Luke Quilter from Sleeping Giant Media will share their digital marketing and social media expertise in their Giant Talks.
