Brentwood Chamber of Commerce welcomed local businesses, charities and community organisations to Old Brentwoods Club on Wednesday 4 November for our November Business Breakfast.

Jay Gandesha from Gravita Accountants gave an engaging 10-minute post-Budget analysis, offering a concise look at what the announcements could mean for local businesses. Councillor David Kendall shared an update from Brentwood Borough Council, and it was a pleasure to welcome Louise McKinlay from Invest Essex as our guest.

We had a good mix of Chamber members and first-time guests around the tables, with representatives from sectors including hospitality, professional services and technology, alongside local charities and the arts. Thanks to everyone who came along, and a special thank you to Izzy and the team at Old Brentwoods for looking after us and serving up a fine full English breakfast.

Our next Business Breakfast is on Wednesday 2 December at The Country Café in Ingatestone. Chamber members and guests are welcome.
