Consulting the Oracle to forge regional excellence

Top professional firms in the region are pulling together to chew over the key issues that can help to shape strategy, forge future excellence for the sector and boost the local economy.

The firms - which include Browne Jacobson, Berryman Shacklock , Freeth Cartwright , Fraser Brown, Shoosmiths and Harvey Ingram LLP - are coming together later this month for the launch of an exclusive new strategy forum called Oracle.

Helping lead the debate at the launch will be Glenn Harris, executive director of Corporate Services at East Midlands Development Agency, and Sarah Warnsby, award-winning head of marketing at Browne Jacobson. They will be focussing discussion on tendering for professional services.

Sarah comments: “It's a great opportunity to get together with like-minded professionals in an open and anti-competitive environment. It will help us understand issues in their wider strategic context and the factors which are affecting us all in the local economy.”

The forum sessions - which will take place bi-monthly in Nottingham and Cambridge – are by invite only to director level marketeers from the professional services sector. The launch will be at Harts Restaurant on 27 th April.

Each session will focus on a key strategic issue affecting the sector

including tendering, mergers and acquisitions through to corporate social responsibility. The group will hear from a credible expert – the Oracle - on the day's topic and then have a chance to debate, share opinions and learn from their peers.

The Oracle forum is a concept designed and run by Prima PR – a full service PR and marketing communications consultancy, and The Progressive Business Group - specialists in business development for the professional services sector.
