Businesses from across South Cheshire enjoyed a traditional Christmas get-together at Crewe Hall. The networking event, hosted by the South Cheshire Chamber and sponsored by Mercedes Benz of Stoke, drew a crowd of more than 80 to the venue. Guests mingled and made new business contacts in the Jacobean side of the hall before enjoying a buffet lunch in the historic Hall of Pillars. A wide variety of businesses were represented from bankers, solicitors and accountants to hairdressers, builders, recruitment specialists
and marketing professionals. It was last in a busy series of networking opportunities offered by the Chamber in 2010. Chamber chief executive, John Dunning, said: “The Christmas networking lunch is always a popular and successful event and this year was no exception with a full house enjoying the festive surroundings of Crewe Hall.
Networking events are staged regularly by the Chamber. See Dates for Your Diary on page 30. For further information on these events or becoming a South Cheshire Chamber member call 01270 504700.
