Chamber expo opens up new business and learning opportunities

Royal Sutton Coldfield Chamber of Commerce’s biggest networking event of the year has hailed a huge success – with businesses reporting a boost in contacts and knowledge sharing.

More than 300 people attended the annual Royal Business Fair at Sutton Coldfield Town Hall, which was sponsored by law firm Enoch Evans and Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council.

Delegates were able to take part in a speed networking session and seminars on grant funding and creative marketing, while also interacting with exhibitors from a variety of sectors including creative, hospitality and professional services. 

Naeem Arif, president of the Royal Sutton Coldfield Chamber, said: “With over 300 people attending this year's Royal Business Fair, it was a fantastic opportunity for those who attended to create new business opportunities, as well as increasing their own knowledge from the seminars.

“We also launched a fundraising campaign for the Cancer Support Centre, who are the charity of the year for Royal Sutton Coldfield Chamber.

“As president I was pleased to be the first person to sign up. My personal thanks go to Enoch Evans and the Town Council for their ongoing support of the business fair.”
