Over 80 Chamber members and guests joined us for our 1st Wednesday networking last week which made for a vibrant and engaging meeting.
Our thanks go to Brachers who sponsored this event. Morag Welham gave us an overview of the firm and explained the diverse range of services available to Chamber Members.
Brachers will be celebrating its 125th Anniversary next year which is an incredible achievement and our congratulations go to the team.

Morag specifically highlighted Brachers’ subsiduary, Kent HR – Human Resource Specialists, which support businesses who lack an HR function. Services include support on an issue by issue basis and also providing longer term retainer or project based services. Kent HR helps businesses through the landscape of HR, hopefully avoiding legal involvement, but when it is needed the Employment Team at Brachers is on hand for legal advice and help.

As always the team at Wagamama provided the perfect welcome and service coupled with excellent coffee and delicious food. We were priviledged to sample the new menu due for launch in early October, and the feedback was excellent! Also worth mentioning is that Wagamama recently won the prestigious ‘Customer Choice’ Award at the Sevenoaks Business Awards. This award is nominated by the public and was very well deserved for a great community supporter. Well done the Wagamama Team!
Congratulations to Jack Huxham from CHS Networks who won a hamper full of Kentish Fayre provided by Brachers in the charity business card draw. We raised £95 towards our charity fund for 2019.
