corporate representatives acting as hosts for the programme of
monthly seminars and meetings.

County, an East Kent group and a Thames Gateway group, Morag
Welham, Head of Special Interest and Media at KM Group, will be
working together with Pfizer representative Andy Gibson to
co-facilitate the East Kent group. The Thames Gateway group is
being hosted by Coca Cola and Aylesford Newsprint.
