|Join Elmbridge Business Network online
The Elmbridge Business Network was formed in April 2006. It aims to bring together business representatives from across the borough to work on projects and initiatives which will help ensure that Elmbridge retains its vibrant local economy. As such this forum is responsible for co-ordinating the delivery of the 'Enhancing the Local Economy' section of the |Elmbridge Sustainable Community Strategy 2006-2015.
The Elmbridge Business Network also provides vital networking and engagement opportunities to ensure that businesses have a voice in the borough.
Recent activities include Flying the Flag for Business conference (examining opportunities from the London 2012 Games), promotion of the |High Street Recycling Scheme, sponsorship of the pilot Esher Shuttle Bus and activities to address traffic congestion.
Membership on the Elmbridge Business Network Committee is extended to two representatives from each geographical area of the borough. This enables the committee to extend out into the various geographical business partnerships and forums, which operate successfully throughout Elmbridge. These include:
|The Business Network's terms of reference are available to download.
|Notes from Business Network meetings are available to download.
The Business Network is establishing a contact list of local businesses who would like to receive relevant information, such as invitations to events and e-newsletters.
