BRAINTREE Council is inviting businesses to a free breakfast and business support networking event later this month.

The event, in Earls Colne, will welcome speakers from various organisations, who will provide information on regional travel projects, offer insights into free business support programmes and share advice on cybersecurity.

Frankie Kemp, who is an inspirational speaker and renowned trainer, specialising in people skills, will lead an interactive session on how to make the most out of networking opportunities.

The event will take place from 10am to 12.30pm at Earls Colne Airfield on July 26.

Attendees can enjoy complementary pastries and refreshments and a chance to network too.

The council said it would "like to connect with as many local businesses as possible".
