Quarterly breakfast meetings are being held at the Royal Berkshire Conference Centre, Madesjki Stadium, Reading, with up to 90 business people attending each event.

The second in the series was on January 26, and was supported by Manches. The keynote speaker was the leading business guru Allyson Stewart-Allen who spoke about working across cultures,

The author of a best-selling book, Working with Americans, Stewart-Allen gave the audience tips on how to understand different business cultures across the world.

Each Business Breakfast, which is free to attendees, is sponsored by a different organisation allowing the sponsor to help pick a quality speaker and invite 30 of its own guests to the event. The next breakfast is planned for April 20.

Each event is publicised in the Thames Valley edition of the magazine.

Anyone interested in sponsoring a future breakfast, or attending as a guest, should contact Tanya Liddiard at tanya@elcot.co.uk
