BROMLEY Court Hotel is hosting a free networking breakfast for the leisure and lifestyle sectors on March 27.

Representatives from the the hospitality, leisure and tourism industries in Bromley will have the chance to network and find out more about marketing and promotion, catering for people with disabilities and staff training.

Delegates will be offered advice by local colleges and Bromley Council.

The event, organised jointly by the council and the Bromley Education Business Partnership, is the second in a series of events which began last November.

Thirty people from across Bromley's financial services sector attended the inaugural event.

Patrick Wall, general manager of Bromley Court Hotel, who will be attending the breakfast, said: "I would like the discussion to include ways of growing our industry locally and even attracting other operators into the area.

"As well as Bromley Court there is the Bickley Manor Hotel, Sundridge Park conference centre and some very good B&Bs locally.

"However, the council needs to attract larger companies into Bromley, and not have every available space turned into houses and flats.

"Bigger businesses would mean more people coming to the area for appointments requiring accommodation, and there would be a bigger workforce to benefit industries including retail."
