Havering Businesses Invited to Major Four-Chamber Networking Event
The Big Business Connect will bring businesses from Havering, Redbridge, Newham and Barking & Dagenham together at Barking & Dagenham College on Tuesday 17 November for an evening of new contacts and potential partnerships.
Business owners across Havering are being encouraged to make new connections at a major networking event involving four neighbouring Chambers of Commerce.
Called The Big Business Connect, the event takes place on Tuesday 17 November 2026, from 5pm to 8pm, at Barking & Dagenham College’s Rush Green Campus, Dagenham Road, Romford, RM7 0XU.
Havering Chamber of Commerce is joining its counterparts in Redbridge, Newham and Barking & Dagenham for the evening, which is designed to help local businesses meet prospective customers, find potential partners, share ideas and raise their profiles beyond their usual contacts.
The programme includes an initial period of informal networking, short presentations by participating Chambers and the college, and a facilitated inter-Chamber networking session led by Mark Dover. Attendees will then have further time to speak with people they have met before the event closes at 8pm.
Businesses wanting to showcase their products or services can also enquire about a limited number of exhibition stands. Havering Chamber lists the cost at £150 per stand, with places offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Businesses interested in exhibiting can contact the Chamber at enquiries@haveringchamber.co.uk.
General admission is listed at £5 for Chamber members and £10 for non-members. Name badges will be available, and refreshments and catering are being provided during the evening.
The college has free on-site parking. Bus route 174 stops outside, while routes 5, 175 and 128 also serve Dagenham Road, with a short walk to the campus.
Organisers say the event is an opportunity for businesses to broaden their networks across East London, whether they are looking for referrals, future collaborations or simply to find out what other firms in the area do.
Those planning to attend can find event details and book through Havering Chamber of Commerce. The registration information advises that attendee details may be included in event lists and photographs may be used in subsequent marketing.
