Restaurants, pubs, cafés and bars in Woking can take advantage of a new initiative from Surrey Chambers of Commerce and Woking Borough Council, by attending their free launch event of Serving up Success at the Holiday Inn Woking on Monday 3 June, from 10am to 12 noon.

This exciting new series of briefings will give related businesses a forum to get together share important industry information, listen to advice from speakers and get feed back on business issues.

The forum is open to any Woking food or drink business, and this inaugural session will focus on marketing on a budget, offering top tips on expanding your customer base and creating effective online campaigns.

Members of the food and drink community can also find out about how to use social media to reach more potential customers, and network with industry colleagues and experts.

Louise Punter, Chief Executive of Surrey Chambers of Commerce, said: "The food and drink industry has been hit hard and in Woking we are very proud of our businesses and want to offer what we can to help them succeed. We hope these briefings from industry experts will go some way to help businesses realise the importance of an online presence, and offer some advice on what they can do to try and promote themselves on a minimal budget."

Serving Up Success has been developed in partnership with Woking Asian Business Forum, Woking Chambers of Commerce and Guildford College Group.
