Businesses came together to learn how to promote their products and services in a bid to boost collaboration and growth.

Bob Blackman, Conservative MP for Harrow East, held a first-ever breakfast club forum to promote local businesses on Wednesday at The Traveller's Rest in Kenton Road, Kenton, encouraging them to share innovative ideas on how to thrive.

Mr Blackman said: “It is important for a local MP to do everything possible help their local businesses, not only in Parliament but at home too. I am delighted that so many attended my inaugural Business Breakfast Club event and that lots of helpful connections were made between businesses.

"It shows there is a real appetite for this sort of forum and I look forwards to it going from strength to strength in the new year.”

The next breakfast will take place on January 22. If you are interested in taking part, get in touch with Mr Blackman's office via email on bob.blackman.mp@parliament.uk.
