This informal event will give you an opportunity to promote your business and make invaluable connections with local businesses in Kent. ‘Chamber Connections Networking’ is a new networking event. Each month will be in a new location, so to be inclusive of all businesses in Kent.

Any business, any size, we know and understand the pressures and ambitions your business has. Imagine what you could achieve being part of a local, national and international business community.

‘It is not just who YOU know, its who they know – the power of connections!’.
