This webinar will explore the realities behind recruitment struggles, rising costs, infrastructure gaps, and the impact of technology and AI. Led by Doncaster Chamber’s Chief Executive Dan Fell, the session opens the floor for discussion on what’s working, where pressure points are, and what actions are needed to build a stronger, fairer regional economy.
