Andy Reed today hosted an event at Loughborough University Sport Park as part of the Leicestershire Business Festival in partnership with LRS, LATI, In Charnwood and Loughborough University.

As part of the LLEP Strategy Sports Innovation and tech are recognised as a growth sector to be encouraged in and around Loughborough given its global reputation for sport.

The Sports Business Network has emerged out of this work and hopes to grow as many of the thousands employed in the sports sector across Leicestershire work and collaborate together to encourage business development.
