Bracknell BID proudly hosted its latest ‘Meet Your Neighbour’ networking event at the Capitol Building on 5th May, running from 12:30pm to 2:00pm. These events are a regular part of Bracknell BID’s ongoing commitment to fostering collaboration and connectivity across the Southern and Western Business Districts, bringing together a wide range of businesses, from start-ups and SMEs to large corporates and public sector partners.
The ‘Meet Your Neighbour’ series continues to be a key fixture in the local business calendar, offering professionals the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations, build long-term partnerships, and discover new opportunities in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
At this latest event, attendees heard the latest BID projects and updates as well as gleaned information from a selection of guest speakers representing companies and organisations active within the Bracknell BID area. The session opened with a series of short presentations, where each speaker introduced who they are, what they do, and the services/opportunities they provide locally.
