Same Day Courier Services, Essex

On Thursday 29th Jan 2009, Arrow Light Haulage sponsored a Business Scene event with Regus and BT Tradespace in Brentwood Essex.

The evening was a huge success with 96 attendees who enjoyed guest speaker/networking expert Andy Lopata

Over £200 was raised for the charity Hope and Aid Direct. Hope and Aid Direct is run by Charles Storer who regularly packs up his 7.5 tonne lorry and drives it across Europe to the Balkans, to provide aid for those that the rest of the world has forgot. Charles is based in Ingatestone and fund raises locally to make a difference in children’s lives.

Here is Sarah and Regus Manager Robert Brett handing the raffle money to Charles.

I thought it was amazing so many came out to Brentwood in a cold January night to get to know lots of local people. What better way of beating the recession than doing business together?

The feedback from the event has been overwhelmingly positive and Sarah plans to organise the next event in April at Stansted. She is looking for event sponsors and raffle prizes to help raise funds for Hope and Aid Direct. If you want details of the next event, just sign up to Business Scene in Essex and we will keep you up to date.
