Business Runnymede is a partnership between the local business community, educational providers, police and Runnymede Borough Council, who work together to encourage and support enterprise in the borough.
Led by local businesspeople and supported by the council, we organise numerous free events, including networking meetings, workshops, and courses that are designed to help local businesses prosper.
We exist to support local businesses, celebrating their successes as well as tackling the issues they face. Here are some examples of the work we've done to this end:
- Launching the Runnymede Business Awards to showcase the success of businesses within the borough.
- Fostering an active networking scene in the borough, with our hosting of regular networking events throughout the year covering a wide range of topics, bringing local companies together on the issues that matter. The vast majority of these forums are free, with sponsorship coming from local businesses who wish to make others aware of their activities. If you wish to sponsor a Business Runnymede forum, please contact us here.
The best way to stay updated with our activities is by subscribing to our newsletter here.
If you are a business owner or directory you may also like to enter your company in the Business Runnymede directory here.
We do not ask a membership fee to join, we simply want your support in making Runnymede an even better location for business and enterprise.
