The 22nd May saw the second Skelmersdale Ambassadors Event of 2024 taking place at Edge Hill University, with the theme of ‘Green Growth, New Horizons.’

The event focused on Skelmersdale opening up and animating its green environment; looking at thinking bigger and wider about the relationships that will define its future success. It explored entrepreneurship and employment, creating a ‘place led’ approach for what it does, and ensuring that Skelmersdale is a place where people will want to live, work, study, visit and invest.

On the day we heard from:

  • Liam Owens, Pro-Vice Chancellor (Marketing, Student Recruitment and Student Administration), Edge Hill University​
  • Professor Christopher Dent, Edge Hill University​
  • Gillian Wossick, West Lancashire Borough Council​
  • Mark Kitts, Managing Director Tawd Valley Housing Developments​
  • Miranda Barker, CEO of East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce

We have been overwhelmed at the high demand and positive response following what was a fantastic event, and we look forward to driving forward the Skelmersdale Ambassadors Network and positively promoting this special place as an environmentally sustainable destination in West Lancashire.
