Cllr Lynn Lloyd, local district councillor for Chinnor, said, “I’m really pleased that OBE are coming to Chinnor to hold a business networking event. The café only opened earlier this year and is a fitting example of how a local business can put the community at the heart of what they do.”
Martin Herbert from OBE said: “Everyone I’ve met since becoming an advisor has had a unique proposition – I’m constantly amazed by the diversity of ideas. One thing they all have in common is the desire to see their ideas come to fruition and I am delighted to have helped some fulfil their ambitions. I am especially proud to have helped Lisa and Dee, who have been so well organised, focused and determined, and they are such lovely people too.”
