THE Houses of Parliament will be the venue for an attempt to persuade public sector bodies to relocate their offices to Derby.
City MPs Bob Laxton and Margaret Beckett will host the Derby Embassy event, organised by Marketing Derby, which promotes the city and aims to attract investment. (Sourced from Derby Telegraph.)
About 75 guests are expected to attend on Monday, in the Terrace Marquee at the House of Commons.
They will include about 60 potential investors, joined by up to 20 Derby "ambassadors", along with city developers.
The Derby Embassy was launched in 2007 to raise the city's profile with investors.
Marketing Derby director John Forkin said: “The Government is due to announce measures that would see more departments moving out of London and we want to make sure that Derby is on their short list.
“At the Derby Embassy event we will be pushing the large portfolio of city centre office schemes.”
