Rye businesses gathered at the Brewery Yard Club last week for a Christmas Soirée hosted by the Rye Chamber. The networking event was the first in what is hoped to be a regular opportunity for business owners to network in a relaxed and informal environment.

Jane Brook, Rye Chamber Chair said: “We’re very pleased that our first event of this kind was so well received. We want to build better relations with the town’s businesses and encourage the membership to grow. It’s only through greater collaboration and joined-up thinking that we will ensure the town thrives through difficult times and we’re committed to facilitating those relationships.”

The evening was open to all businesses in the town in a bid to attract new members and the Chamber was pleased to welcome some new faces. With live music from Logan Wilson, delicious canapés, cupcakes from Baked by Sophie, and wine kindly provided by The Mermaid Inn, the evening was an enjoyable start to the festive season.

With key businesses in the room, the Chamber also took the opportunity to poll attendees in order to benchmark feeling on current trading conditions on the run-up to Christmas and those anticipated for the first quarter of 2023. The Chamber intends to lobby local MPs and parliamentary candidates with those findings – advocating for member businesses and the challenges they face in the coming months.

The evening was co-hosted with Sarah Broadbent, vice chair of the Chamber.
