Jemma Lloyd, head of Vincents’ Penwortham branch, said: “We were delighted to welcome more than 40 people to the first meeting of the Penwortham Business Network. It was wonderful to be together in the same room getting to know each other and sharing info on everything that’s great about our town. "There was a strong feeling from people wanting to offer their help and support for community activities like the Christmas markets, the summer gala and other local causes, which is something we’re going to explore in more detail at the next meeting which we hope to hold in the next few weeks.”placeholder image

The first meeting of the new Penwortham Business Network was a huge success with more than 40 guests attending.

Business cards were swapped, numbers taken and ideas shared during the event, which was held at the Lime Bar and Lounge in Liverpool Road.

The event was so popular that organisers are planning a second event on Thursday, April 7, from 9.15am, again at the Lime Bar and Lounge.

Hosted by Jemma Lloyd of Vincents Solicitors, Michael Bailey of Michael Bailey Estate Agents and Carol Rialas from Lime Bar and Lounge, the meet-up drew people from a vast range of local businesses.

Following introductions from the hosts, who outlined the aims and ambitions for the group, each guest was invited to introduce themselves and their business.

The group’s aims are to strengthen and support local business; provide information on local issues and opportunities; build a positive network to create good in our community; instigate and promote local events and fundraising.
