The panel will be hosting a series of business advice forums for budding entrepreneurs and business owners chaired by Mr Pearce.

He said: “The Meadowhall Business Advisors Panel is the first of its kind for the centre, and through the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce we have called upon a fantastic board of directors to take part. As representatives of successful businesses it is important that we support the next generation of entrepreneurs: these individuals will be responsible for creating future wealth and growth in our region.”
