Check out what previous attendees have to say about Doncaster, What's Next?

“The highlight for me has to be, being able to sit and listen to Baroness Martha Lane Fox CBE. That opportunity is few and far between. And for her, to take the time out, to speak to the audience in Doncaster I thought was a real privilege.”

Mark Peebles, Chief Commercial Officer at Harrison College.

“It was fantastic! The energy in the room was unbelievable. I think that what I took away [from the event] the most was optimism, collaboration, and just [to be] down to earth and speak to each other to get more business into Doncaster.”

Ian Selby, Head of Sales and Commercial Development at LNER.

“I think the panel with the business directors and CEOs was really interesting, just getting their take because obviously, they’re on the face of what’s going on in Doncaster. So it was really interesting to hear some of their opinions and views on how we can make Doncaster better. And, get more people to invest.”

Di Mellis, Centre Manager at Lakeside Village.

“What makes this conference different is that it focuses very specifically on Doncaster and you get to meet and network with all other local Doncaster businesses which is always a great opportunity to talk about local issues.”

Jim Carley, Business Director at Shaw Trust.

“I’m really mostly interested in finding out what the plans are for Doncaster and how Doncaster is going to help businesses like mine grow.”

Jon Duffy, CEO of Clean Power Hydrogen.

“What I think is great to see today is the depth of businesses that are coming out. Small through to large. And actually the passion, there’s a real buzz around the conference and the passion to drive the City forward.”

Mark Burley, Regional Social Value and Partnerships Manager at Keepmoat.

“It’s been really good to hear from a wide range of partners, and hear from some new voices and to me, a number of potential partners.”

John Rees, CEO of DN Colleges Group.
