Tendring Business Leaders Association

This group meets quarterly for lunch and is hosted and paid for by Jamesons and Thompson Smith & Puxon.
The purpose of the lunch is to bring together, in an informal and interactive environment, likeminded Tendring based business leaders and decision makers; those in business locally who very rarely get the chance to come together in the same room to share their ideas and thoughts on what is affecting their business now and what the future holds for business in the area.
