I was delighted to be invited to the Business Leaders Lunch organised by the Black Country Chamber of Commerce at Weston Parl. I had an opportunity to talk to the members of their Platinum Group about the history and role of the High Sheriff.
I also highlighted the critical role that business can play in supporting various aspects of the justice system including publicising and supporting opportunities for employees to become magistrates, engaging with the Care Leaver Covenant and proving employment opportunities for ex Offenders to enable them to get their lives back on track.
