Networking breakfasts are an excellent way of raising your profile, making new business contacts and hearing best practice from fellow Chamber members.
The speaker for this event is Elaine Brook from Herefordshire Greenlinks which outlines the activities and successes of Herefordshire's Green Business Association, and introduces colleagues Alison Holmes, of Reprodux printers, Phil Brown of Phil Brown Consultancy, and Alex Pattison-Appleton of Cartridge World, who will explain the benefits they have experienced from sustainable business practice, as well as the advantages of networking with other green businesses. Customers are increasingly aware of 'good practice' in their suppliers, and resource efficiency makes economic sense in the context of rising energy costs. In addition to Green links we also have Herefordshire Council who will be addressing the breakfast with a short update regarding Herefordshire Council's annual budget setting and business rate changes, as is customary in the run up to the Chancellor's budget. This will involve a short presentation, and the team will be on hand to discuss questions and issues with members afterwards.

Emma founded her company three and a half years ago and since then has experienced impressive growth that now sees her products in well known shops including Waitrose, National Trust but she has also managed to maintain the 'little' and local ethos.
