SUMMARY:Raynes Park Business Event
DESCRIPTION:Our last Raynes Park Business Event was so popular that we have decided to do another one! This time we are hosting a post-work event to help you end your day productively. Join us on 1st March at 5:30 – 7pm as we get exclusive use of Sai Restaurant for some local networking over nibbles and drinks.    \nOne of the aims of the Chamber is to give businesses personal introductions to each other to help encourage professional relationships to be formed. A way we achieve this is by giving businesses the chance to speak about their company for 2 minutes at some of our events. At this event we will do exactly that. We recommend our newly joined members to take this opportunity to showcase their business. If you would like to sign up to speak please email natasha@mertonchamber.co.uk.  \n This event is sponsored by our Premier Members Peacock & Co.
