We're proud to be partnering with Newham Chamber of Commerce to strengthen support for local businesses across East London.

By bringing together our networks, expertise and shared commitment to enterprise, we're creating more opportunities for entrepreneurs and SMEs to connect, learn, grow and thrive.

Together, we're championing inclusive economic growth, supporting underrepresented founders, and helping unlock the incredible talent that exists across Barking & Dagenham and Newham.

This is so much more than a partnership, it's a shared commitment to building a stronger, more connected and more vibrant business community for everyone.
