Penzance Business Breakfast

Our Planning Director, Liz Alexander, will be attending the Penzance Business Breakfast this Thursday 29 January 2026 at The Exchange.
 
This informal morning event brings together local professionals and business owners in a relaxed setting to connect, share experiences and build meaningful working relationships. It’s a great opportunity to support a long-standing local network and enjoy a chance to connect in Penzance.
 
At Laurence Associates, we strongly believe in the value of collaboration, fresh perspectives, and investing in the future of our industry across Cornwall and the Southwest. Engaging with fellow professionals and contributing to conversations that help shape local businesses is always time well spent.
 
If you’re looking to work with a planning and architecture practice that actively supports industry networking and professional development, we’d love to hear from you.

Click here to contact us today for a free consultation.
