Information - Summer Business Leaders Lunch 2025, Ipswich
The Suffolk Business Leaders Lunch is a gathering of likeminded business leaders, entrepreneurs, and directors from across Suffolk, who are passionate about business, connectivity, and community. The aim of the lunches is to offer a place where knowledge, insights and networking provide a catalyst for action, and a safe ‘Chatham House Rules’ style of engagement exists. They strive to share the voice of a local cause or charity and offer an after-lunch speaker to present their insights on thought leadership.
