About the Breakfast Meeting
Peacehaven & District Chamber of Commerce meet on the first and third Tuesday of each month at The Saltdean Lido, The Oval Park, Saltdean Park Rd, Saltdean, Brighton BN2 8SP
As well as having the opportunity to promote your business, meet potential clients, source new suppliers and mingle with like-minded people, our meetings impart a wealth of information through a programme of member-led workshops and presentations from external speakers.
The breakfasts are friendly and sociable, and guests are most welcome. We ask that any non-members that would like to attend contact us, using the contact form below, in advance so that we can cater for numbers.
What's involved?
Members arrive at around 7 am. Between 7:00 and 7:20 there’s an opportunity for free networking over a tea or coffee. At 7:20 when everyone is seated, each member is given the opportunity to give a sixty-second presentation to the group about their business. After the sixty-second round, either a guest speaker or a Chamber member is given the opportunity to give a ten-minute presentation to impart advice and useful information on their given area of expertise. We then have a buffet style breakfast choice of either full english, vegeterian or continental options. Whilst we eat there is a referral and testimonial round where members can provide testimonials for businesses they have used and pass on recommendations for future business.
Objectives of the Breakfast Club
- To promote members’ businesses through regular networking meetings
