WELCOME
Welcome to the autumn edition of Masthead, the official magazine of the South East London Chamber of Commerce. As we reflect on the past quarter, I’m proud to celebrate the energy, collaboration, and leadership that continue to shape our Chamber’s work across Royal Greenwich, Lewisham, Bexley, Bromley, and Croydon.
This summer has been a season of connection and impact. Our Summer BBQ provided a relaxed and lively setting for members to build relationships, while executive lunches with London Deputy Mayors Howard Dawber and Tom Copley offered valuable insights into the Capital’s strategic priorities. We also hosted Link ’n Drinks evenings, a Cybersecurity Webinar, and the Lewisham Giving Workshop, each designed to foster dialogue and strengthen our business ecosystem.

We were proud to support memberled events including the elegant Vice-Chancellor’s Dinner at the University of Greenwich, the inspiring London Biggin Hill Sunrise Challenge, and the record-breaking Lewisham Business Awards, which saw over 2,200 nominations. We’ve also engaged with the Opportunity Bromley team, explored Bexley’s 2050 vision, and deepened our understanding of AI at the Royal Borough of Greenwich’s business breakfast.
