Entrepreneurs of all ages and sectors gathered for the Richmond Chamber of Commerce’s Richmond Entrepreneurs Conference 2017 at Richmond Adult Community College.
They were joined by business leaders, including sponsors Richmond upon Thames College, One Duke St, Revolution Bar and the Richmond & Twickenham Times.
The Chamber of Commerce CEO Anne Newton said: “The Conference delivered on so many levels, inspiring, informing and engaging over 100 businesses and non-profits from sectors as varied as industrial, professionals, retail, tech and creative.
“The chamber is the voice of business across the area, marketing, representing and supporting over 5,000 businesses.”
Former Twickenham MP Sir Vince Cable closed proceedings with an upbeat rally call to entrepreneurs, and journalist and TV presenter John Stapleton led an upbeat Question Time-style panel.
There were lively discussions around topics such as upcoming business rate changes, and developments on the high street.
Ms Newton said: “Do be sure to watch this space for more chamber business events in south west London.”
