Chamber launches Weston business breakfast to champion local business

Somerset Chamber of Commerce has announced a new Weston Business Breakfast, a dedicated networking event designed to strengthen business relationships and stimulate economic growth in Weston-super-Mare.

Recent Chamber activity in Weston-super-Mare has shown a significant appetite among local businesses to connect, be informed of local initiatives and collaborate, to drive business growth in the area. Events held in the town have brought businesses together to engage with stakeholders including the Bank of England, key infrastructure projects and future talent at Weston College.

The business breakfast builds on that momentum, offering local organisations a welcoming and purposeful environment to expand their connections, explore new partnerships and engage with peers who share a commitment to boosting Weston-super-Mare’s economy.

The Chamber’s events continue to act as catalysts for local growth, providing businesses with access to valuable networking opportunities, sector insights and avenues for collaboration that support both immediate commercial objectives and longer‑term development. These activities remain central to Somerset Chamber’s mission of helping member businesses connect, influence and grow.

By bringing employers together in Weston-super-Mare, the event aims to:

  • Encourage collaboration among local businesses to strengthen the town’s economic ecosystem
  • Highlight opportunities for growth, innovation and skills development
  • Promote new connections that help keep investment, talent and opportunity rooted in Weston-super-Mare
  • Support businesses of all sizes in navigating a rapidly changing economic landscape

Launch event

The launch event will take place on Friday May 15 at the Winter Gardens in Weston-super-Mare and will include the following speakers:

  • Pat Jones, Principal & CEO of Weston College
  • Mandy Bishop, CEO of North Somerset Council
  • Daniel Aldridge, MP for Weston-super-Mare
  • Nigel Beacom DL, Somerset Lieutenancy
  • David Crew, Managing Director of Somerset Chamber of Commerce

David Crew (pictured), Managing Director of Somerset Chamber of Commerce, said: “Weston-super-Mare has a vibrant and steadily growing business community, and we’re proud to play a role in supporting that growth.

“Events like the Weston Business Breakfast give local organisations the platform they need to come together, share ideas and build partnerships that directly contribute to the town’s economic strength. When businesses connect, opportunities multiply — and that’s exactly what we want to encourage here in Weston-super-Mare.”

The Weston Business Breakfast will be delivered in partnership with Weston College and Weston Chamber of Commerce.
