Back to school for Broomhill businesses

Westbourne hosts Broomhil Business Breakfast

Back to school for Broomhill businesses

 

IT’S back to the classroom for members of Broomhill’s business community as they launch a new networking group…at Westbourne School.

Sheffield’s only independent co-educational school for children aged four to 16 has joined forces with the Broomhill branch of the HSBC to create the Broomhill Business Breakfast Group.

And with more than 100 businesses in the prosperous city suburb, the organisers are confident they will have be successful in strengthening corporate and community links.

The idea grew out of a Community Afternoon Tea which was held in school last summer and was such a great success that it was realised that there was a need for a networking group specifically in the Broomhill area.

“There are so many different businesses in the area, including banks, legal, accountants, shops, hotels and even the library and this is a great opportunity for everybody to come together to discuss the economic climate and how we can support each other.” Said organiser Angela Bywater.

The first meeting of the Broomhill Business Breakfast Group will be held at Westbourne School’s French Café on January 21 from 8am to 9.30am, with a charge of £5 per head, with all profits being donated to the Children Hospital Charity.

 “Westbourne already does quite a lot of work in the Broomhill community and this will help establish even greater links with the wider business community.”
