Business Bites networking returns to the Halston in Carlisle

Cumbria Chamber’s Business Bites event brought members of the Carlisle business community together at Bartons Yard, the Halston, on Thursday 9^th February for an evening of relaxed networking.

Attendees were welcomed with a complementary glass of bubbly supplied by Sarah Peak from the Department for Business and Trade, who came to discuss the support available to help businesses export their products.

The event was busy with an upbeat atmosphere, as attendees chatted and swapped business cards over drinks and delicious canapes provided up the Halston. With so many in attendance, the event was a sure sign that it’s a great time to be in business in Carlisle!

Free to both Chamber members and non-members, Business Bites, offers the opportunity for face to face networking in a relaxed, social setting away from the office.
