Please join us for our face-to-face Business Networking Breakfast at The Watermill, Dorking. Travel better and remember to bring plenty of business cards with you!
Chamber Business Networking Breakfast
Kickstart your morning with great coffee, good conversation, and valuable new connections.
Our Mole Valley Chamber breakfast events bring together a friendly mix of local businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals. Whether you’re looking to grow your network, raise your profile, or simply stay connected with what’s happening locally, you’ll feel right at home.
The format is relaxed and welcoming, with plenty of time to chat and build meaningful relationships before heading into the rest of your day.
We’ll be announcing speaker details soon, but in the meantime, you can expect a positive, energising start to your morning with like-minded people.
Come along, bring plenty of business cards, and make the most of your morning.
Stop treating your IT like a car mechanic
Most business owners only think about their IT when something breaks – like phoning a mechanic. But in a world being reshaped by AI and automation, the businesses pulling ahead are the ones investing in proactive IT support – aligning their technology to their goals, not just their breakdowns.
In this practical session, Simon Pardo of Computer Care explains why the “call it when it breaks” mindset quietly costs you money and missed opportunities – and what proactive IT support looks like in practice, whatever the size of your business.
Who should attend?
This session is ideal for business owners and senior leaders who rely on technology to run their operations but aren’t IT specialists themselves. Whether you’re a team of five or fifty, if you’ve ever felt like your IT is something that just happens to your business rather than something working for it, this session is for you. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of where hidden costs may be creeping in, and practical steps to start benefiting from proactive IT support.
About the speaker
Simon Pardo is the Founder and CEO of Computer Care, a Surrey-based proactive IT support company working with SMEs across the UK. Rather than simply keeping the lights on, Computer Care helps businesses align their technology with their goals, improve staff productivity, reduce risk, and prepare for the opportunities and challenges that AI and automation are bringing. Simon’s work is built on the belief that IT shouldn’t just be a cost to manage, but an asset that actively supports business growth.
7:30am arrival for an 8:00am breakfast which will finish at 9:30am.
