    NETWORKING BREAKFAST
    Shaping the Future of Sussex - Insights from the Interim Chief Executive

    As Sussex moves towards establishing its first Mayoral Combined County Authority, this is a pivotal moment for local leadership, businesses and communities.

    We are delighted to host Mark Rogers, the Interim Chief Executive of Sussex & Brighton Combined County Authority, who is leading this transition, for a session focused on what devolution could unlock for the regional economy.

    Mark will provide a clear, accessible overview of the Devolution Priority Programme; including potential new powers, future funding streams and opportunities for business engagement. With experience in leading the Hull and East Yorkshire Devolution Programme he will highlight how the new authority could shape investment, skills, infrastructure, and long-term place-based growth across Sussex.

    Attendees will gain early insight into how decisions affecting transport, planning, housing and workforce development may soon be taken closer to home and how the business community can help influence the agenda from the outset.

    NETWORKING EVENT 
    Networking Breakfast - Flare Audio's Success Story- How a small team in a garage built a global brand 

    We’re delighted to welcome Naomi Roberts, co-founder of Flare Audio, as our keynote speaker.

    What began as a team of three building speakers in a garden garage has grown into a globally recognised audio technology business, shipping to over 186 countries, supported by artists, producers and names like Stephen Fry and Liam Howlett (The Prodigy). Founded in 2007 by Naomi and Davies Roberts, Flare Audio has grown through passion, perseverance and crowdfunding, earning the King’s Award for Innovation in 2025. Naomi shares Flare’s story with rare honesty - the highs, the hard graft and the deeply personal reality of building a business that truly matters. Her talk is inspiring, refreshingly real, and one you’ll find yourself completely absorbed in.

    Here's what one our Peer Group Members said about a recent talk by Naomi:

    "I hung onto her Every. Single. Word. She told the incredible business story of Flare Audio in such an honest and humble way that I was glued to my chair and had to remind myself to close my mouth. She didn't try to gloss over how deeply personal and exhausting it can be to build a business that matters to you, and explained how she achieved celebrity fans just through sharing with them her love and passion for her products. It was, I believe, the best talk from a businessperson I've ever heard. Naomi simply spoke from the heart about how and why they'd built the business, and the ups and downs along the way."Gina Hollands, Hollands Associates
