An early morning networking event in Dawlish will be celebrating its first anniversary later this month.

The Dawlish Business Breakfast, which takes place between 7am and 9am at the Smugglers Inn is a monthly networking event where local businesses can start the day networking over a bacon butty and plenty of tea and coffee.

On Thursday February 20, Dawlish Chamber of Trade and Commerce will be celebrating a year of collaboration between local businesses with breakfast and cake.

Since launching the breakfasts and, more recently, a coffee morning networking event, the Chamber has doubled its membership.

‘Dawlish is such a friendly place and the business breakfasts and coffee mornings are really welcoming events to make connections and get to know fellow businesses,’ said Dawlish Chamber chair Colin Jolliffe.
