Brentwood Chamber of Commer's next Networking Lunch is being held on Thursday 17th March 2010 at Ashwells Sports & Country Club.  Brentwood Chamber is delighted to welcome Ian Hatton, Head of Economic Initiatives at Essex County Council as guest speaker and Councillor Kevin Bentley.  The topic of the event is 'Banking on Essex'

The Banking on Essex team will be taking the opportunity to speak to local businesses about Banking on Essex and explain how the lending model works.

Delivered in association with Santander Corporate Banking, the Banking on Essex lending framework can provide secured or unsecured loans of up to £100,000 over periods of up to 5 years and overdraft facilities of up to £100,000 to eligible businesses in Essex.

The Banking on Essex team will be on hand to answer questions and provide guidance to local businesses on the business support available from Essex County Council.

Although Chamber lunches are primarily designed to give members the opportunity to network and make additional business contacts, expert speakers are always a key feature of the lunches and offer members insights into key areas of business interest.
