Staffordshire Ambassador Event – A Place to Prosper
We Are Staffordshire run regular Ambassador events throughout the year showcasing exciting projects and success stories from businesses across Staffordshire.
With a line-up of inspirational speakers, you’ll hear about the latest developments and businesses that are shaping our great county.
The next event will be taking place on 11 July and will be shining a spotlight on placemaking, and in particular how the vibrant city of Lichfield will continue to celebrate its culture and heritage, as it moves forward with its future vision for the City Centre Masterplan.
Nestled in the heart of Staffordshire, the city of Lichfield offers awe-inspiring culture, stunning hospitality, bustling independent shops and more.
Perhaps best-known for its distinctive cathedral and many other historic buildings, Lichfield is a place of culture, and with the Lichfield city centre masterplan in place to shape the future growth for the city centre, there are promising major regeneration plans to enhance the quality of the city centre environment.
