“Championing Shropshire” A responsibility for the High Sheriff of Shropshire for nearly 1000 years. As the county looks to recover from the impact of Covid-19, the role holds more meaning now than ever before. On the 19th of May at 3pm Shrewsbury Business Chamber will welcome Tony Morris-Eyton, senior director of Savills Estate Agents to speak about his plans for his year as the High Sheriff of Shropshire. In an interview with the Shropshire Star, he spoke about tourism, a sector which has been badly hit by Covid restrictions, as a huge driver towards the county’s economic recovery. Supporting business, employment and training opportunities will be a key focus. He also spoke of aiming to “encourage, influence and publicise the efforts of the many faces of Shropshire” by helping to champion the unsung heroes of the county such as the police, doctors, nurses and volunteers. This includes The Midland Air Ambulance, a charity close to his heart. BOOK NOW to join our informative talk with Tony Morris-Eyton about his plans for the year using the link below.
