Available to members of Kenilworth Chamber of Trade as well as to the general public, the event will be held on Zoom from 8.00pm on May 26.

Dan is a local lad, he grew up in Kenilworth and studied at both Coventry and Warwick universities. As well as working in the town's pubs, particularly the old Tut N'Shive (now the Bear and Ragged Staff), he is still very active in the area having a local business based in the town.

Events coordinator for Kenilworth Chamber of Trade Gina Reinge said: "Kenilworth chamber is delighted to be hosting this event. Many local businesses will be struggling with the new trade rules and this is a perfect opportunity for them to ask questions and get information from a true expert in this area."
