Small business-owners in Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks are being invited to a free event in the new year.

The ‘Meet the Mastermind’ event is being organised by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).

Guests are invited to book a preliminary 15-minute slot for a one-to-one with the mastermind of their choice.

They include Zoe Carins of ZC Social Media; Steve Kilfoyle of Squirrel Financial Planning, Chris Gaze of Rift and officers from Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council.

FSB regional vice chairman Simon Robinson said: “Many of our members tell us that training and ongoing business support is vital to the success of their business, so we have joined Tonbridge School to provide a varied evening of free information and advice for entrepreneurs and business owners..

“As a business owner myself, I know it can be time-consuming to find the right support.

“The evening will offer all the key topics that a small business owner needs – from social media to tax and export advice, all in one place.”

Delegates will also have the opportunity to tour Tonbridge School.

The event on January 14 runs from 5.45pm to 8pm.
