Networking Breakfast

Chester Zoo - Natural Vision

A crisp morning in the large Victorian Oakfield House, Chester Zoo, (situated by the lions), proved to be a roaring success for the latest FBE Liverpool breakfast event!

The event sponsored by Turner and Townsend featured Simon Mann, Development Director, Chester Zoo as the key note speaker.

Simon outlined the exciting proposals that will help transform Chester Zoo into one of the top 5 Zoos in the world. Already one of the top Visitor Attractions in the United Kingdom the desire to transform Chester Zoo into an all year round/all weather visitor attraction include the construction of a massive biodome with an internal environment that will replicate the Congo rainforest.

Very positive feedback was received from the departing members and guests on what proved to be a very successful FBE event.
