A host of high profile North East business leaders have joined the line up for the Sunderland Business Festival.
The business festival will take place in a series of events across the city, including talks, workshops and a jobs fair, from October 12 to 14. Washington-born entrepreneur Heather Mills has become the latest to sign up for the three-day event, where she will talk about the growth of her plant based food and cosmetics businesses.
Ms Mills became a vegan in 1993, believing it would aid her recovery following the amputation of her left leg, and she has since created her own company VBites as part of her mission to help people maintain a sustainable plant based food diet. VBites has grown to become one of the world’s largest manufacturers of meat, fish and dairy free foods, currently sold across 24 countries.
