Guest speakers will include:
•     Kreskas Bros. Transport chief executive officer, Peter Hill

The Chamber welcomes attendees to the Luncheon, which will feature a discussion among the guest speakers around the recognition of business achievements, renewed vision for the region and a sense of optimism for the future. Time will be allocated for a Q&A with the panel.

Peter Hill of Lemnos-based Kreskas Bros said all businesses had been through a difficult 12 months, but confidence was rising moving into 2021 with the arrival of vaccines and an end in sight to the pandemic.

“The Leadership Luncheon is going to be extremely valuable,” he said.

“There’s lot more confidence moving into 2021. The lives lost and illnesses have been tragic, but I think it hasn’t been as bad as we first thought, thanks to good decisions by State and Federal Governments.

“What 2020 showed for our region was that we’ve got the right people in the right place.”People have had a difficult last 12 months and if there’s anything that they can take away from the leadership lunch, then that’s great.”
