The ‘Ready for anything’ Breakfast

Our May breakfast speaker is Brighton-born-and-bred Gary Bishop. He’s a social entrepreneur who, for a quarter of a century, has been helping to establish organisations that make a lasting change in challenging circumstances. Gary returned here in 2012 after a long stint in Manchester where he founded the charity Justlife and worked on one of the city’s most notorious housing estates. He’s now CEO of Arch Health which provides healthcare for homeless people.

Gary will reveal how loss and grief changed the shape and direction of his life and his work.

He’ll also share stories and insights gained from the more unexpected events and challenges he’s faced during his career, explaining how, and why, he is now ready for anything.

The Chamber’s monthly breakfast is very popular, so you’ll need to book early. 40 to 60 business people from Brighton and the surrounding areas come together to meet and network virtually on the fourth Friday of each month.

There are 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.

What to expect:

• Three virtual, networking sessions
• A talk from a brilliant, local business owner
• And, a chance to chat with familiar faces and new

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

If it is your first breakfast or you haven’t attended in a while the Chamber team are always on hand to make introductions. You will receive an attendee list in your confirmation email.
