Chamber Breakfast June

The 'Mind the Gap' Breakfast

What were you doing during the pandemic? While there was a big gap in most people’s lives where socialising and travelling used to be, Mo Kanjilal used the time to co-create Watch This Sp_ce.

The business emerged from Mo’s personal experience of workplaces that are anything but inclusive. Now Watch This Sp ce works with organisations across all sectors to help them understand that diversity, equity and inclusion are essential to business strategy and employee engagement. They help these businesses identify what changes are needed and how to make them.

Mo is a TEDx speaker, charity board trustee, non-exec director, mentor - and very familiar face at the Chamber. She also somehow found time to co-write a book. ‘The Inclusion Journey’ is to be published in August.

At our June breakfast, Mo will be talking about why diversity, equity and inclusion is so much more than a ‘nice to have’. She’ll also discuss how she has grown the business and picked up awards along the way.

Make sure you find space in your diary to be there!

About this event

The Chamber’s monthly Breakfast at Bill’s is very popular, so you’ll need to book early.

50 to 80 business people from Brighton and the surrounding areas come together to meet, eat and network on the fourth Friday of each month*.

There is a wide range of people who attend from all sectors and all sizes. From sole traders and start-ups to some of the biggest businesses in the city.

Each month there is a guest speaker, who'll talk about their own experiences of running a business and their own personal journey.

What you can expect:

• Make new connections through informal networking.
• Hear from a brilliant speaker, who'll talk us through their personal and business story, the highs, and the lows.
• Enjoy breakfast with like-minded people.
• No need to pitch, as we can make an introduction if there’s someone you’d like to meet.
• Find new local customers and suppliers.
