Who’s the Event For?

This event is a must-attend for local business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals eager to expand their network and sharpen their marketing strategies. Whether you’re part of the Patch community or a business owner in the Twickenham area, this series offers valuable insights and opportunities to collaborate with like-minded individuals.

About the Connect and Grow Series

In partnership with Patch, the St Mary’s University Business Clinic is looking to build relationships with local organisations and academic experts within the Business School. The ultimate objective is that our business students will help run the clinics and sit in on the advice sessions, developing their business knowledge. This would ultimately lead to more practical assessments based on consultancy projects with local businesses thus enabling our students to graduate with the skills and expertise to hit the ground running as they start their business careers.
