Past Events
Making the right connections
Each month the Chamber hosts a variety of events which offer members a superb opportunity to meet and chat to fellow business people. Here, we review a few of our past events.
Bexley Office Drinks at Metro Bank We were joined by SELCC Members and other like-minded professionals & entrepreneurs at the Metro Bank in Bexleyheath for an informative evening of Networking. Starting off the evening, we had our very own Board Member, Mark Jenkinson, give a brief introduction on Sustainability and our SP, ITS Technology Group, and how they are bringing fast fibre to South East London through their partnership with Royal Borough of Greenwich. One of the highlights of the evening was a talk from Emma Sampson from the Business & Employment team at Bexley Council, who shared valuable insights into local business programmes, employment support, and other opportunities available to SMEs in the borough. We would like to give a special thanks to Metro Bank for sponsoring and hosting this event, providing delightful drinks & snacks for our guests. Credit: Warren King Photography
