MVC January 2026 Networking Breakfast

Join us at the Mole Valley Chamber business networking breakfast!

We’re delighted to announce that our next business breakfast networking event will be a little out of the ordinary, as we decamp to the rather splendid Fetcham Park House in Leatherhead for a special one-off gathering. While our regular monthly meet-ups happily call Dorking home, this change of scenery gives us the perfect excuse to add a touch of grandeur to your morning coffee and conversations. Expect the same friendly, high-quality networking you know and value, paired with an inspiring historic setting that’s guaranteed to spark fresh ideas and new connections.

Guest speaker

Our guest speaker this month is Helen Maguire, MP for Epsom and Ewell, Ashtead and Leatherhead. This month we are delighted to welcome Helen, who will address the collaboration between local business networking groups and the MP’s office, focusing on how to ensure that their concerns are effectively heard at the parliamentary level. They will discuss the most effective methods for business networks to communicate their challenges and opportunities to the MP. Additionally, we will hear about plans to engage with local business groups and which formats, such as forums, workshops, or roundtables, are considered most effective for these interactions. The role of business networking groups in supporting the MP’s initiatives and priorities for the constituency will be explored, along with specific business groups or industry sectors. Furthermore, the Helen will explain the her vision for facilitating business community events or initiatives that aim to promote local economic development. Finally, Helen will touch on how local business leaders can assist the MP in better understanding the economic landscape and business needs of the constituency.
