Chamber comment on Durham culture bid shortlisting
Date published:
John McCabe, chief executive, North East England Chamber of Commerce said:
“This is a fantastic opportunity for County Durham to really showcase what it can offer residents, visitors, investors and businesses. Being named City of Culture is a once in a lifetime boost for a region and as a Chamber, we will do all we can to support it in the next stage of the competition. Over 500 businesses have already pledged £400k of support and to be awarded City of Culture we need to build on this. I urge everyone from the whole North East to get behind the bid and help clinch this tremendous chance to celebrate our heritage and create a vibrant future.”
