Coastal Chamber Connections

This November, three of East Sussex’s leading business networks are coming together with the Bank of England for an evening of insight, collaboration and connections by the coast.

The Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, Eastbourne unLtd Chamber of Commerce, and Bexhill Chamber of Commerce and Tourism are proud to present ‘Coastal Chamber Connections’, hosted at the popular Relais Hotel in Cooden Beach.

An Evening of Networking and Insight

More than just a networking event, this is a chance to build relationships with business leaders from across the county, discover new opportunities for collaboration, and be part of a stronger coastal business community.

Throughout the evening, you’ll enjoy plenty of time to connect with like-minded professionals in a relaxed environment. To start things off, enjoy a welcome drink generously sponsored by Lightning Fibre, followed by a buffet, as you mingle and make new connections. Whether you’re looking to make new contacts, reconnect with existing ones, or simply exchange ideas, the room will be filled with people who share your ambition to see our coastal community thrive.

About the Keynote Speaker – Catherine L Mann, Bank of England

At the event, we are delighted to be joined by Catherine L Mann, an External Member of the Monetary Policy Committee at the Bank of England.

The Monetary Policy Committee is responsible for setting the UK’s interest rates to meet the government’s inflation target, and Catherine plays a key role in shaping those critical decisions.

With expertise spanning international finance, trade, and monetary policy, Catherine brings a unique global perspective to the challenges and opportunities facing the UK economy today.

Her talk at Coastal Chamber Connections will give attendees first-hand insight into interest rates, inflation, and the broader economic outlook – an invaluable opportunity for businesses looking to stay informed and plan ahead.
