Bath business owners will get the chance to quiz the five candidates who will be battling it out to become the city’s next MP at a hustings staged by the Institute of Directors (IoD).
Lining up at the Question Time-style event will be General Election hopefuls Steve Bradley (Lib Dem), Ben Howlett (Conservative), Ollie Middleton (Labour), Dominic Tristram (Green) and Loraine Brinkhurst-Morgan MBE (Independent). 
They will each speak on their vision for Bath as a dynamic and forward-looking business centre before facing questions from the floor.
Chairing the debate will be Peter Hawkins, Professor of Leadership at Henley Business School, Visiting Professor University of Bath, Emeritus Chairman of Bath Consultancy Group and chairman of Renewal Associates.
Prof Hawkins is a leading consultant, coach, writer and researcher in organisational strategy, leadership, culture change and team and board development.
The event, which is being supported by Bath Business News as media partner, takes place on March 10 at the Hilton Bath City hotel in Walcot Street from 6pm. It will be followed by networking – the latest in the IoD’s Bathtime @ 6 networking events.
Questions for the candidates can be submitted in advance at iod.southwest@iod.com
