After a stunning year of news, Kent Business (and Santa) would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thanks for your support throughout 2016 and we hope we have kept you up to speed with the latest events across the county.

Our newsletter is going on its festive break and will return on Tuesday, January 3 to guide readers through the next 12 months.

Over the festive break, you can still keep up to date with the latest business news on our website, and by following @KentBusiness on Twitter or signing up to our Facebook or LinkedIn pages.
