South Lakeland Business to
Business Lunches
SLDC are holding a series of working lunches
and networking events across South Lakeland to compliment their
very successful Business 2 Business Exhibition held in November
2008.
These events are designed to help SLDC engage
with businesses across South Lakeland and as a forum for businesses
to discuss issues that directly affect them. Previous topics
have included:-
- Employment sites and land and how these can
be brought forward
- Environmental advice and waste management for
businesses
- Advice, help and grants available to South
Lakeland businesses
This is also a great networking opportunity to
meet other businesses.
