PR guru Max Clifford will be the guest of honour at a business event next month.

The Big Business event, on July 5 and 6, will provide new and established businesses with in-depth advice from prominent UK business leaders.

A number of speakers, guests and specialists have been lined up to give talks and seminars on business topics ranging from legislation to international trade.
