A Great Start to 2025: Networking Breakfast with Sir Ashley Fox

Monday 20th January, 2025

On the 17th of January, we launched our first networking event of the year at the beautiful Enmore Park Golf Club. With over 30 businesses in attendance, the morning provided an excellent opportunity for local professionals to reconnect after the Christmas and New Year break.

The highlight of the event was our special guest, Sir Ashley Fox, MP for Bridgwater, who engaged directly with attendees to discuss key concerns affecting the local business community. Topics ranged from tax relief challenges to ongoing roadwork disruptions and supply chain concerns like HPC and Agratas. Ashley encouraged attendees to reach out to him with any issues, offering his support to advocate on their behalf.

The event was made possible thanks to the generous sponsorship from Sedgemoor FM, whose ongoing support continues to help us create valuable opportunities for our members.

Thank you to everyone who attended, Sedgemoor FM and Anthony from Pass the Keys for the photography.
