Representatives of leading Staffordshire businesses met for a networking event organised by BCRS Business Loans.

Professionals from more than a dozen firms joined the ‘Pint After Work’ get-together at the Milehouse pub in Liverpool Road, Newcastle-under-Lyme, on Thursday (May 25) in the latest of a series of free events organised by the business loans specialist.

Staged by BCRS as part of its drive to support the West Midlands business community, Pint After Work provides attendees with an opportunity to network and build professional relationships in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, with gatherings held throughout the year.

Naomi Campion, Business Development Manager, said: “We were delighted so many people joined us for the networking event at the Milehouse, as it allowed professionals from a range of sectors to meet.”

Andrew Hustwit, Head of Business Development, “We recognise these are challenging times for businesses so we believe it is important that companies continue to meet to discuss future opportunities, with BCRS as the catalyst for them coming together.

“The whole team at BCRS look forward to staging more events in Staffordshire and across the West Midlands region over the months ahead.”
