In a collaborative effort to foster business engagement, Taunton and Bridgwater Chambers of Commerce joined forces to organise a networking breakfast event. The gathering, held at The Canalside in Bridgwater, provided a unique opportunity for members of both chambers to connect, share insights, and strengthen professional relationships.

Bethan Turner, Membership & Events Manager at Taunton Chamber of Commerce said, “Taunton Chamber and Bridgwater Chamber have been collaborating on a number of initiatives and events to increase the support and opportunity offered to companies across the area, and today was a real example of these wider chances to make new connections and gain insight from fellow businesses on topics that really make a difference in gaining an advantage. We look forward to working together on more exciting projects in the coming months.”

The highlight of the event featured a presentation by The Outsourced Recruitment Company, offering valuable tips and sector insights to assist businesses in navigating the challenges of recruitment and retention during this demanding time of year.
