Suffolk Chamber of Commerce continues to offer the best business networking in the region, with its programme of monthly lunches held at prestigious venues throughout the county.
Returning to Ipswich High School for Girls at Woolverstone Hall, Chief Executive, John Dugmore commented, “the Chamber is fortunate in having such magnificent venues in membership and access to excellent keynote speakers, with a message for all the business community.”
Dr Dan Poulter, MP for Central Suffolk & North Ipswich and Will Anderson of Anglian Award winners Cyberpac, provided the keynote speeches at the October Networking Lunch sponsored by Business Link and attended by over one hundred delegates.
An urgent call to Westminster meant an early departure for Dr Poulter, but not before he reiterated his commitment to improving the region’s broadband provision. He is hopeful that Suffolk will be one of the pilot areas for rural broadband provision which could lead to the government providing up to £12.5 million to develop broadband in the county – providing that business can match that figure. “It is right that people should be able to access broadband at home wherever they live – not just in large towns” Dr Poulter said.
Rather than being the ‘warm up’ act for Dr Poulter, as he expected, Will Anderson of Cyberpac followed a delicious two course lunch provided by JLS Catering. Armed with some of the packaging for which Cyberpac is justly well known, Will introduced delegates to the concept of water soluble plastic and compostable plastic packaging.
Considering the ‘plastic soup’ of waste floating in the Pacific Ocean and the threat of dissolved substances from plastic, many of which are believed to be toxic to humans and animals, Cyberpac’s innovation is particularly crucial.
To close the event, Marie Frazer, Client Relationship Manager for the Suffolk Chamber stressed the Chamber’s commitment to enhanced business networking. Marie organises a ‘Would like to Meet’ service at the lunches and forty delegates this month took advantage of this newly introduced service. Delegate lists are distributed in advance of the event and guests simply pinpoint the person with whom they wish to network, Marie then arranges a seating plan and it’s down to you to take your business networking a step further.
