    BilliBusiness Lunch Club

    Thursday 14th February
    from 12.45pm until 2pm

    Our BilliBusiness Lunch Club will be meeting from 12.45pm until 2pm in the Thai Cuisine, located in Jengers Mead.

    Members and non-members are invited to attend this sociable networking opportunity and self-promote their business services and products over lunch and a couple of drinks.

    The purpose of the BilliBusiness Lunch Club is to be a business referral forum rather than a “talking shop” gathering, and each month one member will be invited to give a presentation of their particular business lasting 5-10 minutes.

    The cost should be no more than £15 per head (depending on your choice from the menu) payable on the day. Drinks will be at your own discretion although jugs of water will be provided on each table.

    This is a great opportunity for you to meet and mix with other local business people in an informal and social setting, whilst building upon your contact list for local businesses.

    To confirm your attendance, in order to advise the restaurant of numbers in advance, we would appreciate you contacting the Chamber's Secretary on
    07984 959281 or by emailing secretary@billingshurstchamber.co.uk

    The BilliBusiness Lunch Club is free for Chamber members but there will be a charge of £2 for each non-member to attend.

     

    Business Networking and Social Evening

    from 5.30pm onwards

    We invite you to join us for our local business networking and social evening at The Limeburners in Lordings Road, Billingshurst from 5.30pm onwards for a couple of hours or so.

    This informal networking evening, coupled with a relaxing drink after a hard days work, always proves popular.

    This is a great opportunity for you to meet and mix with other local business people in an informal and social setting. We stress that this is not a formal event and require no notice of attendance. Please turn up when convenient, with or without a guest, and you will be made to feel most welcome.

     

    Our aim, as always, is to make these events active, informative and entertaining along with offering you the opportunity to network with other like-minded business owners. We hope that you decide to join us!

    Kind Regards

  • Let Us Entertain You

    29 January 2013 12:01 PM | Tracie Davey (Administrator)

    As you may be aware Worthing and Adur Chamber of Commerce have launched a tourism and hospitality group.  Let Us Entertain You is the new initiative developed by a working group to highlight the venues and attractions available for business users in the area.

    “Tourism and Hospitality are vital in our region”, says Sheryl Tipton, Executive Member and Group Lead, “and this group has worked hard to develop a range of events to really promote all the venues and attractions that make our area so appealing – particularly those not so well known.  In the current economic climate we all need to keep our business local and support one another, so this initiative really aims to do just that”.

    The first event will be on Thursday 28th February at West Street Loft in Shoreham’s High Street.  Networking will start at 5.30pm following by a cinema evening at 7.30pm.  To register to attend and find out more about this FREE business networking event please contact us at the Worthing and Adur Chamber of Commerce on www.worthingandadurchamber.co.uk.
