Kent Business School stages its inaugural Business Soundbite event of the year this week - focusing on how firms can control costs at a time of "exceptional inflationary pressures".

Staged at the school's base at the University of Kent in Canterbury, it forms part of a series of free workshops offering a "practical approach for businesses and consumers".

The event takes place at the Sibson Building on the campus from 5-6.30pm on Thursday, June 23.

Organisers say it is aimed at business owners, accountants, economists and anyone interested in the impact of inflation on consumers and the business community.

The workshop will be led by Duncan Finn, a senior tutor in financial accounting.

Also speaking will be Dr Catherine Robinson, deputy director of Kent Business School and Clive Newell, managing director of Bekesbourne-based management consultancy Halagen.
