The Autumn Budget and what it could mean for your business

The Weymouth & Portland Chamber of Commerce is hosting an afternoon session on the Autumn Budget at Oliveto on Thursday 12 November, from 2:30pm to 5:00pm. It's a networking event, so it's as much about catching up with other local business owners as it is about the budget itself. The focus is the Autumn Budget and what it could mean for your business, with experts on hand to break down the details.

Two firms are providing the insight: Albert Goodman, covering tax and finance, and Blanchards Bailey LLP, taking the legal side of things. Having both in the room means you can get a handle on how the changes might hit your books and your contracts at the same time, rather than having to piece it together from different sources. Albert Goodman is also sponsoring the event.

It's run by the Weymouth & Portland Chamber of Commerce, which has been around since 1923 and works with a broad membership that ranges from sole traders and national brands to charities, schools and colleges. They run a regular programme of business-networking events across the area, and this afternoon session is part of that. Oliveto is a familiar spot for them — they also hold their annual Christmas Party there.

The afternoon is open to members and non-members alike, with discounted tickets for Chamber members. Your ticket includes a drink on arrival, savoury and sweet bites, plus tea, coffee and soft drinks throughout. Tickets are £18.00 to £25.00, and it runs from 2:30pm to 5:00pm at Oliveto, The Pier Bandstand, The Esplanade, Weymouth, DT4 7RN.
