We had a fantastic Swanley Expo last Thursday at the fabulous Alexandra Suite, Swanley. The breakfast networking prior to the event was very busy and we had a large group for the opening of the Expo by the Mayor of Swanley Cllr Paul Darrington and Ryan Hayman CEO of Swanley Town Council. Our thanks to Austin Blackburn from Go-Coach, Roger McKerlie from the Environmental Business Network and Jade Pluck from Jade Consultancy who talked about Sustainability in Practice. The Chamber seeks to honour its own commitment to Net Zero and we will be supporting Members by sharing information on all aspects of the Climate Challenge ahead
Our thanks go to the Sponsors Sevenoaks District Council, Collier Pickard, Thackray Williams and Evolve Estates. Thanks also to Kerina, Suzie and Lily from Swanley Town Council for the venue and ensuring the day went smoothly.
