Business Runnymede
Business Runnymede is a partnership between the local business community, educational providers, police and borough council, who work together to encourage and support enterprise in the borough.
What we do
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.
