Attending Women in Business Breakfast at Truro Golf Club

Our Planning Director, Liz Alexander, was delighted to attend the Women in Business breakfast at Truro Golf Club this week.

The event brought together a wide range of professionals from across Cornwall, creating a welcoming space to share ideas, experiences and insights. It was a valuable opportunity for Liz to reconnect with established contacts while also building new relationships within the local business community.

A thoroughly positive and engaging morning that highlights the strength and support within Cornwall’s professional network.
