The Tooting Business Networking Event made a triumphant return to the Tooting Tram & Social last night.

It was the second in a new series of events in Tooting, run by Tooting Daily PRSS and the Wandsworth Chamber of Commerce, aiming to encourage greater networking and collaboration between local businesses, with future events to take place in different venues around the area.
 

The event, attended by around 50 local businesses, was introduced by Tooting Daily PRSS Publisher, Dave Mauger. Steve Pinto, Chief Executive of the Wandsworth Chamber of Commerce, followed, speaking about the benefits of Chamber membership, its many successes and its large and varied range of members throughout Wandsworth. Entrepreneur Mike Southon was the guest speaker, and shared his secrets on how to double your business and how to work a room effectively. Mike offers free business mentoring – you can connect with him on LinkedIn to find out more.
 

There was also time for businesses to meet each other and put some of Mike’s tips into practice. There were many comments on how useful the event was, with quite a few enquiries as to when the next one will be (it’s in September – keep an eye on our Twitter and What’s On page for details).

Tooting Daily PRSS and the Wandsworth Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the Tooting Tram & Social for hosting the event and Mangé des Iles for supplying the food.
